Seat 3: Oleksandr Vaserfirer - 1,854,000
If you remember back to our coverage of EPT Barcelona last month or even further back to EPT Kyiv, his name may ring a bell. Vaserfirer placed twenty-first in Kyiv and then went even deeper in Barcelona, finishing sixteenth. Those two finishes, combined with a cash in a side event at EPT London, have earned Vaserfirer over €40,000 this season alone.
You can often get a sense of someone’s ability by looking in his corner. Seated on the rail behind Vaserfirer every step of the way on the past couple of days has been WSOP bracelet winner and member of Team PokerStars PRO Russia, Alexander Kravchenko. Vaserfirer has a ways to go before he has the same claim to fame as Kravchenko, but adding a win here in Warsaw to his resume of EPT success this season would be one heck of a burst onto the scene.
