Seat 3: Keven Stammen (5,650,000)

Keven Stammen enters the final table as the chip leader with over a third of the chips in play. According to ICM calculations his stack is worth $813,214.02, so mathematically any finish other than first place would be a disappointment.

Stammen has accrued over $2.2 million in career live tournament earnings and over $5.5 million online. This is his ninth WPT cash and his sixth this season tying Season XI WPT Player of the Year Matt Salsberg, fellow finalist Byron Kaverman, and a host of others for the most cashes in a single season.

In 2009, Stammen took down a $2,500 buy-in event at the WSOP, earning over half a million dollars and the gold bracelet. His second-largest cash came in 2012, when he finished runner-up in a €10,000 buy-in event at EPT Sanremo for $123,043.

Stammen not only has the chip lead entering the final table, he also has direct position on Kaverman, who is second in chips.
