Seat 1: David Vamplew, 23, Fife, Scotland (3,670,000)
David has been playing poker since 2005 and turned pro after graduating from Edinburgh University (where he still lives) last year with a math degree. He normally plays NLHE cash games online at the 2-4 and 3-6 levels. He only just started playing live tournaments this year and has only cashed once before (a 106th place finish in the World Series of Poker $2,500 event this summer).
This is David's second EPT after Tallinn and, while it was always his plan to play as many EPTs this season as possible, a victory tomorrow will make this aim much easier. He is here with two friends who have both tasted victory this year. Nick Risk took down the PokerStars UK & Ireland Poker Tour Main Event in Edinburgh and Max Silver won UKIPT Dublin; it will be their turn to rail him today after he��s supported them through their victories.
