Seat 2 - Patrik Antonius: One of the top online pros who has successfully transitioned to the Big Game. He played two high-profile final tables with Doyle Brunson, including last year's $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. and a WPT event.
Seat 3 - Marco Traniello: The husband of Jennifer Harman first played in the WSOP two years ago, and has already made a name for himself. He has more cashes since 2005 than any other player -- 14 times. This is his third final table this year.
Seat 4 - Rene Mouritsen: This is Mouritsen's third straight cash at the WSOP, and he finished second in the Mixed Hold'em event last week.
Seat 5 - Tommy Ly: The chipleader from Duluth, Georgia (my own hometown) is appearing at his second final table this Series in pot-limit Omaha.
Seat 6 - Jonas Flug-Entin: The day one chipleader survived some minefields on day two to reach the final table. This is his first WSOP, and he's making the most of it.
Seat 7 - Steve Sung: This is his first WSOP, and he has two cashes and this is his second final table, as he finished 3rd in Event #14.
Seat 8 - Stephen Ladowsky: This is his 12th cash and 3rd final table at the WSOP since his first back in 2005.
Seat 9 - Robert Mizrachi: Less famous than his brother Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, Robert definitely has game. He has some high profile final tables, but lacks a breakthrough performance to take him to the next level. Could this be his night?
