Totti Matias Arosuo in Seat 7
Totti Matias Arosuo, or Matias to his friends, is in Seat 7 and starts off the action with a sizeable chip lead with 1,959,000 in chips. This represents a huge one-quarter of the total chips in play.
During the last couple of blind levels yesterday, Arosuo was taking charge and scooping pot after pot.
Nothing is guaranteed in poker, but it is likely this will be Arosuo's biggest live tournament cash as all he needs is a seventh-place finish or better for it to be a new high point. A win will take his almost $40,000 in career earnings over the six-figure mark.
Arosuo has made several final tables, however, has never been able to hoist a trophy. He has a pair of runner-up finishes including in a side-event in last year's OlyBet Kings of Tallinn.
