Seat 1: Abraham Korotki (2,560,000)

The only local player at the table, Abraham Korotki is looking for back-to-back wins at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. Just over a week ago, the New Jersey native took down the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship, earning just over a quarter of a million dollars.

It was Korotki's fourth victory here at Borgata, and according to him, only Monster Poker Ambassador Will Failla (five) has more. Of course, one of Korotki's victories came in the 2009 Borgata Poker Open Ladies Event, which has irked several poker players and fans alike.

Korotki isn't afraid of the more well known players, however, and engaged in competitive banter with Keven Stammen especially during Day 4. At one point, Stammen was in the tank and Korotki tried to goad him into betting, telling him to "pull the goddamn trigger."

In 2006, Korotki won a WSOP Circuit Regional Championship for $433,008, and he can top that score today with a third-place finish or better.
