Tremzin hails from Arkhandelsk on the White Sea, one of the northernmost cities in the world. Now 27, he first came to attention at the PCA in 2013 when he finished fourth in the $10k Six Handed Event, earning $157,765. That result is his best to date, but only on the live scene. Tremzin is an online beast playing as "Ti0373" on PokerStars. His online resumé includes two WCOOP titles and six six-figure results. Tremzin cashed in last year's EPT Prague Main Event and is now in good shape to better that 83rd place.
EPT12 Malta champion Niall Farrell is also maintaining his great form and, with 547,000, he'll be starting Day 3 second in chips. The Glaswegian will be joined by fellow EPT champs - Team PokerStars Pro Online Mickey Petersen, Nicolas Chouity, Anton Wigg, Adrian Mateos, Jannick Wrang, David Vamplew, Mike McDonald, Ruben Visser and Roberto Romanello.
