Seat 6: Joni Jouhkimainen (1,510,000)
Joni Jouhkimainen, turned pro aged 18, playing events across Europe.

In 2012 he has begun to show signs of stepping up in stature.
In March he won the European Masters of Poker, before returning to his home town of Helsinki in June, going deep in two events at the Midnight Sun 2012. A month later he came second in the iGame Open in Prague, heading to Barcelona last week to bag third place in the Estrellas High Roller final for � 35,690. Now he��s poised to record the biggest live cash of his career.
