Seat 1: Jonathan Depa (United States) - 979,500 chips
Jonathan Depa is a 31-year old American poker player with almost a decade of experience as a professional. Like many young poker players of his era, Jonathan was inspired by watching the cult classic movie "Rounders" and from there has never looked back.
Jonathan is usually found playing high-stakes US$25/50 PLO/NLHE cash games, but his tournament game is also pretty impressive with eight WSOP cashes to his credit among $200,000 in career earnings. His best result was a deep run in this year's WSOP Main Event where he finished in 106th place.
After finishing Day 3 as the chip leader, Depa is still well-placed to make an assault on his first career championship.
