Seat 1: Jordan Westmorland, 23, Seattle, USA (living in Gold Coast, Australia) - PokerStars qualifier - 3,330,000 chips
Having been displaced from his native United States after Black Friday, Jordan "JWPRODIGY" Westmorland moved to Thailand and then to the Gold Coast in Australia to continue playing online. It's been a profitable few years for Westmorland, who complemented his online play with regular visits to events in Macau, as well as tournaments on the APPT, ANZPT and WSOP APAC. But his live tournament cashes of $165,000 are dwarfed by his online results, now totalling close to $2m, including a triumph in the PokerStars Super Tuesday last August. Despite his globetrotting, this is his first visit to the EPT — and it's been a breeze. He has been chip-leader for the past two days and takes a commanding stack to the final. Whatever happens, however, he won't be able to extend the trip to Europe as he is due back in Australia for back-to-back weddings of close friends on the next two Saturdays. He won his trip to Sanremo in a PokerStars €530 qualifier.
