Who's who at the Feature Table
The main featured table was the first to break today, so we have a fresh batch of nine players here under the lights.
Seat 1: Steven Begleiter (6,315,000) was in fourth place overall coming into Day 7. Begleiter is from Chappaqua, New York and is a relative newcomer to the game, and this will be his first meaningful cash.
Seat 2: Antonio Esfandiari (5,610,000) is by far the most accomplished player at this table, having more than $3,000,000 in career winnings under his belt. The Magician already owns one bracelet, and he has his eyes set on adding another one to his collection.
Seat 3: Ryan Fair (2,940,000) has four career WSOP cashes under his belt, but this showing in the final event will be his first payday this year. He has just about 150,000 in earnings over the past three years.
Seat 4: Ian Tavelli (1,985,000) is going to make his first WSOP cash a good one here today. Tavelli comes in with no tournament results, but he will walk away with at least six figures from this event.
Seat 5: James Akenhead (1,655,000) is a force to be reckoned with for the rest of the table. The Brit has two career WSOP cashes along with a host of good showings all around the world. He will likely crest the $1,000,000 mark for career tournament earnings when he picks up his payout for this event.
Seat 6: Hung Pham (1,006,000) has just over $10,000 in career earnings, and nothing since 2004. He'll have a bankroll to work with after he takes home at least six-figure money following this first WSOP cash.
Seat 7: EMPTY
Seat 8: Warren Zackey (1,400,000) has no tournament record as far as we can tell, but he certainly will after today.
Seat 9: Adam York (3,515,000) is from Bristol, England, and he's working on his second WSOP cash. His first came last year in the Main Event where he took 114th place, and he's already improved upon that this year.
