Seat 2: Max “$Kill Game” Weinberg - 3,350,000

Max Weinberg (Day 4)
Max Weinberg (Day 4)

Max Weinberg initially studied psychology at Arizona State university, but then dropped out after one semester to start playing poker full time. Online he favors heads-up sit-n-gos in the $500 to $5,000 range, and believes he is up about $300,000 to date.

Weinberg came to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure with his friend Gabe Paul who qualified on PokerStars in a SuperNovas’ freeroll. Weinberg said about the PCA, “I’ve always looked forward to playing the World Series, and I turn 21 in April so this is kind of a warm-up. I’ve
had some luck to make it this far... in the first few hours of Day 1, I had pocket sixes
and was all in on a 7-8-9 flop against aces. I hit a 5 on the river for a straight.”

Weinberg is 20 from Chicago, Illinois and enters the final table third to last in chips with 3,350,000.
