Seat 4: Sailesh Verma, 34 (Hong Kong) - 405,000 in chips
Sailesh Verma is a professional poker player based out of Hong Kong who is generally regarded as a cash game specialist. The 34-year old has played in several Macau poker tournaments over the past 7 years but his first major final table is by far his best career result already.
Verma's lack of live tournament success prompted a friend to lay 14-to-1 odds on a HK $20,000 wager that he couldn't finish in the Top 3 within 24 months dating back to October 2013.
The APPT Macau title and more than HK $2.7m should be enough incentive for any poker player. But a long-term prop bet has added yet another layer of excitement for Verma who could win an additional HK $280,000 on Sunday.
