Seat 6: Erich Stadler, 43 (New Zealand) - 490,000 in chips
Erich Stadler is a 43 year-old manager from Queenstown New Zealand and has been playing poker for eight years. He got his start in home games with buddies who he says are his biggest poker influences.
Stadler told us he mostly playes tournaments and making the final table this week is his greatest poker accomplishment. His biggest tournament moment this week saw him win a big flip with ace-king against an opponent's pocket queens. Off the felt Stadler loves skiing, motorcycling and having a drink.
