Seat 3. Rupert Elder, 24, UK - 8,005,000

Rupert Elder

Rupert Elder, a former Economics student at Warwick University and now professional poker player, has been playing the game for several years. He mostly plays a mixture of online $2-4, $3-6 and $5-10 NLHE cash games though he switches across to tournaments on Sunday nights. Whatever happens on today's final table, this will be Elder's biggest ever live tournament result. His previous best was 80th for €10,000 at the EPT in Berlin a few weeks ago, in what was only his second ever EPT (the first being the PCA earlier this year). Elder will be supported tomorrow by his good friend Andrew Teng who was eliminated in 12th place as well as former PCA finalist Ricky Fohrenbach. Elder isn't too happy about being seated to the right of Max Heinzelmann who he rates as the most dangerous opponent at the final table tomorrow but still remains confident.
