Player Profile: Craig Marquis

Craig Marquis
Craig Marquis is, on paper, the least experienced player remaining. He's been playing for just a year and a half, and stopped short of calling himself a professional player.

The 23-year-old student is from Arlington, Texas and bought into the tournament for the full entry price of $10,000. Marquis is most proud of "grinding his way up the limits" and plays guitar and pool in his free time.

If you spot Craig at the table with the headphones on, there's a good chance he's listening to Third Eye Blind, or any other 90s alternative rock band. Should he win the Main Event, he plans on buying his sisters and mother a pool.
