Seat 7: Jeremy Ausmus -- 799,000

Jeremy Ausmus has always been a quiet, solid grinder, but he really made a name for himself last fall when he took to poker's largest stage — the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event final table. As a member of the famed "Octo-Nine," Ausmus went on to finish in fifth place for $2,155,313.

Ausmus earned his way into this event by being one of the 100 WSOP Player of the Year qualifiers, where he ranked 35th overall. Last year, Ausmus cashed a whopping nine times at the WSOP, and four times in 2011. Outside of his massive success in the Main Event, Ausmus' WSOP cashes in 2012 were highlighted by a 10th-place finish in the $2,500 Mixed Hold'em for $12,964 and a 21st in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $28,793.

In 2013, Ausmus has already showed that he's ready for another big year. He took 12th in the World Poker Tour L.A. Poker Classic for $70,970, fifth in the WSOP Asia-Pacific No-Limit Hold'em Accumulator for $56,865, and then won the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza $2,500 Main Event for $121,853.

Ausmus is married with two children: a two-year old girl and an 18-month-old boy. Under interests he listed "guitar, piano and scotch."

Ausmus enters the final table second in chips with 799,000, just 26,000 behind leader Brock Parker.
