Chris Klodnicki
Chris Klodnicki, a professional poker player from Voorhees, NJ, has been playing poker for about five years. The 23-year-old won his seat to the big dance in an online satellite on PokerStars.

Often going by the nickname "Klod," Chris cites his proudest poker accomplishment as "finishing runner-up to Barry Greenstein in this year's Razz event." Klodnicki's second-place finish to "The Bear" was the biggest payday of his career thus far (obviously not including the one in progress) and makes up almost half of his $201,048 in career tournament earnings.

When not on the felt, Klodnicki enjoys traveling as well as the occasional game of basketball and tennis. He is a graduate of Lehigh University with a degree in finance. When asked about his music taste, Klodnicki let us know he likes "a lil' of of everything...but mostly hip hop."
