Seat 8: Björn Bruns, 38, Seesen, Germany – 16,400,000
German player Björn Bruns has only one reported live cash to his name. He started playing poker in 2009 and prefers to compete in the online fields. Bruns usually battles in multi-table tournaments, and the upcoming finale is his first known major achievement.
Early into Day 3, Bruns was seen scoring a double knockout with pocket tens against Choi Yun Lam’s ace-queen and Rembert Net’s ace-king. The hand propelled Bruns to the chip lead at the time and helped him cruise towards the final table.
