Seat 4: Paul Pitchford (77,000)
The second shortest stack coming into the day, Paul Pitchford will have his work cut out for him if he's to claim his first bracelet today. His cumulative poker tournament earnings total just over $3,000, a number which he hopes to multiply several times over here today. His three previous cashes came in tournaments with buyins of less than £75, but Pitchford has thus far proven that he possesses the skill set needed to handle the jump up to this next tier of tournaments.
His count of 77,000 means he's got to make something happen early on today, but we certainly aren't counting him out just yet.
