Happy 23rd Birthday to Dominik Panka!
It's been a good year for Poland's Dominik Panka. Of course he won the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) Main Event back in January for $1,423,096, which came after beating Mike "Timex" McDonald in heads-up play, and then less than a month later he won the EPT10 Deauville €10,000 High Roller for €272,000.
Prior to the EPT Vienna, Panka received a PokerStars sponsorship, and when he arrived in Austria he promptly made a High Roller final table appearance on the Eureka Poker Tour, ultimately finishing in eighth place for €20,150. Not only that, he won a €555 NLHE 1R&A satellite into EPT Grand Final.
Panka is in today's field looking to become the first player to win two EPT High Roller titles, and he's actually doing so on his 23rd birthday! He's been running hot already, and when you throw birthday luck on top of it, Panka may very well be unstoppable.
