Seat 2: Alexandre Vuilleumier, 40, Switzerland – 1,695,000
Alexandre Vuilleumier started collecting live tournament cashes in 2018, but he wouldn’t notch his first reported result in Europe until this March. That’s when he finished 66th in the EPT Prague Main Event for €14,720. Since then, he sneaked into the money in the EPT Barcelona Main Event as well (99th for €17,820).
Vuilleumier will now add a third ITM finish to his tally. He’s nearly equaled his $160,000 score from a summer event in Las Vegas and is guaranteed to break $500,000 in winnings.
Vuilleumier can make a spectacular mark on the EPT, having a chance to become only the second Swiss player to take down the Main Event title – after Ronny Kaiser at EPT Tallinn 2011.
