Seat 4: Masa Kagawa -- 695,000

Starting as the final table chip leader is Japan's Masa Kagawa with 695,000. Kagawa is a regular in the largest buy-in poker events in the world. Back in 2007, Kagawa won A$250,000 for taking third in the Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge — a result he'll surely look to best today.

He also placed fifth in the 2012 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €100,000 Super High Roller for €354,500 just last year.

Another notable score on his resumé came back in 2008 when Kagawa took seventh in the £20,000 High Roller at the European Poker Championships in London. There he won £86,000 for his finish.

In total, Kagawa has nearly $1.2 million in lifetime tournament winnings. He plays with fierce aggression and isn't afraid to mix things up in the game. One thing is for sure, Kagawa will not be timid when it comes to knocking heads with the other players at the table.
