Seat 7 – Ben Richardson (30, Australia), 4,870,000
An Aussie playing poker abroad for a living – he currently resides in Hungary – Richardson has over $400,000 in cashes, much of it coming in his home country at Aussie Millions, which he called the “best in the world.” He has three previous final tables here, including a sixth-place finish in the A$1,150 Opening Event a couple of weeks ago for A$40,990. He's not a high-volume player, as Richardson said he only plays about twice a week. One thing "Oppositeland" has going for him is the support of the local crowd, as he had plenty of cheering fans gathered to compete with the German contingent as Day 4 drew to a close.
