Seat 3: Jackson Genovesi – 1,553,000
Jackson Genovesi will start the final table as chip leader, a title he has held throughout this tournament ever since he entered on Day 1b. The 27-year old poker pro of three years has kept his table mates, the rail and the live reporting team entertained with his witty banter and his willingness to play many pots.
Genovesi lists the online phenom Chris Oliver as his favourite player and that could explain his loose style of play and the fact he is not scared to get his chips into the middle. In his career so far, Genovesi has $120,448 in live tournament winnings, the bulk of which came from his win in the 2010 Poker Grand Prix in Saint Vincent that netted him $63,936.
It should be very interesting to see his starting hand requirements once the live stream kicks off.
