Final Table Profile: Stoyan Obreshkov
Bulgaria��s Stoyan ��UncleToni�� Obreshkov is the player bringing up the rear when the now eight finalists take their seats at King��s Casino on December 15. Obreshkov is armed with 2,125,000 chips, or approximately 14 big blinds, meaning the pressure is off him somewhat. One double-up and the Bulgarian will find himself back in the thick of it.
Obreshkov is a seasoned poker player, one with more than $1.2 million in live tournament earnings. He reached the final table of the 2018 WSOP Europe Main Event at King��s Casino where he fell in ninth-place for �75,461 ($85,868). Two months prior to that impressive finish, Obreshkov was the third-place finisher at the 2018 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, a result that saw him win a career-best $349,889.
��I really love dancing, most of all bachata. It is definitely the biggest passion of mine outside of poker. I found yoga four or five years ago and have been in love with the process since then. Also, I have been into sports my whole life. Currently, I mostly swim, play tennis, enjoy climbing, and surfing if there is sun and waves where I am.��
The Bulgarian hopes to dance his way to a massive prize when the final table commences, although he��s adamant it��s not the money that motivates him to play poker. Should he become this event��s champion, Obreshkov plans to secure his family��s financial future, open a dance school in his home town and make some donations to charitable causes.
