Seat 4 - John Hanson - 1,995,000
John Hanson is the mystery man left in the field. He's probably the best story. The stock options trader from New York has outlasted a field of 148 players, some of which are considered the best poker players of all time. He cashed in the $5K Heads Up event last week but that's his only WSOP cash. He was the chip leader of HORSE at the end of Day 2 and has been at the front of the pack for the last couple of days. He has plenty of ammo with 1.995M in chips.

Seat 8 - Barry Greenstein - 750,000
Barry Greenstein is considered one of the best poker players in the world. It doesn't matter if it is a cash game or in a tournament, Greenstein is going to be one of the best players at the table.

Greenstein cashed three times at the 2007 WSOP and has 31 lifetime cashes at the WSOP. He has won two WSOP bracelets and made nine WSOP final tables. He's also won two WPT events and earned more than $5M in tournaments over his career. That doesn't include how much he's won in cash games. Barry Greenstein dedicated his last bracelet (2005 Pot-Limit Omaha) to Charlie Tuttle, a young player and fan, who died of cancer a day later.
