Seat 5: George Balandinos, 53 (Australia) - 990,000 in chips
This 53 year-old retired Brisbane local is a $2/$5 cash game player and has been into poker for eight years now. Balandinos tells us his biggest poker highlight was finishing third in the Aussie Millions Mix Max event this year.
The best moment in Balandinos's tournament this week came when he spiked a set on the river holding pocket deuces to eliminate an opponent who had pocket kings. When he's not playing poker, Balandinos enjoys spending time with his grandchildren.
