Seat 4: Danut Chisu, 67, Romania – 5,025,000
Danut Chisu had fewer than eight big blinds when he returned for Day 2. He was the stone last in the standings, but the 67-year-old from Bucharest bounced back. Chisu has a chance to become the first-ever EPT Main Event winner from Romania, with only five opponents in his way.
Chisu is a poker veteran with more than $1 million in career earnings. Ninth place on the Romanian all-time money list, Chisu is guaranteed to vault at least into seventh place.
Most of his best results came in Cyprus, but he has already made a deep run at EPT. In Monaco, it was Jussi Nevanlinna who dismissed Chisu in 25th place, forcing him to settle for a €26,230 payday.
