Seat 6: Ferdinando D’Alessio, 35, Belgium (30,100,000)
While he’s not a poker pro, Ferdinando D’Alessio certainly doesn’t lack experience, having played the game for well over a decade. His first reported live cashes date back to 2009.
The 35-year-old lives in Charleroi, so it’s no surprise that most of his results come from Casino Namur, including the €46,502 fourth-place prize for fourth place in the 2011 Belgian Poker Series Main Event. Twelve years later, D’Alessio will finally top that result and potentially move up to as high as 11th place on the Belgian all-time money list, should he lift the trophy.
