Final Table

Jeff Zsolt Soros, 43, Palma de Mallorca, PokerStars qualifier - 1,710,000 chips
Jeff was born in Hungary but moved to Mallorca in 1997. For many years he ran real estate and construction businesses and is also a stock market analyst. He turned to poker full-time a year ago and has played a ton of events since then, leaving the businesses in the care of his wife Agnes. He said: "I have played lots of live events since turning pro - 29 tourneys actually. It's practically burned my bank-roll (!) but I really wanted to come to Ibiza so I bought in direct. He said: "Playing poker was actually Plan C for me. Plan B was to import furniture from Thailand but that didn't really work because of the crisis - no one is buying properties, so they're certainly not buying furniture!" Jeff, the current chip leader, has had some pretty good results since turning pro, amassing more than $166,000 in live tournament winnings. His best cash was fourth place in a €3k tournament in Barcelona for €66,000 last December. Just eight days later he went on to win the €1,200 Campeonato Espana De Poker event in Valladolid for €28,125. He also made the money at EPT7 Barcelona and cashed in the WSOP Main Event in 2010 for $36,463. He said: "Winning Estrellas Ibiza would be my best cash ever but there are some really strong players in this final - not only three of the best online players but also Raul Paez who is one of the best live players."
