Seat 9: Michael Egan (5,410,000)
Hailing all the way from Australia, Michael Egan is the chip leader heading into the third and final day of this event with 5.41 million in his stack. He's also the most unknown of the bunch, with just $173,932 in live tournament earnings over his career and a lack of information available.
What we can tell you is that Egan said yesterday that he doesn't play many live tournaments, or online for that matter, and rather focuses on cash games. Mainly playing online from his home country, Egan did record a nice live win back in 2010 when he won the 2010 Victorian Poker Championship Main Event for $144,223.
Already guaranteed €123,600 no matter what happens here today, Egan looks like he should go on to eclipse that figure pending a catastrophe of epic proportions.
With nearly 22% of the chips in play, a chip lead of over 600,000, and 90 big blinds to work with, we like Egan's chances here, despite not knowing too much about him.
