Leading the final nine is longtime rounder Juha Helppi. The Finnish player, with $6,457,817 in live tournament earnings, brings well over 2.3 million to the table, 148 big blinds.
He's followed by Ivan Arbatsky from Kazakhstan and "hometown" player Hakim Zoufri. Fabio Sperling brings a big stack to the table as well, followed by the shorter stacks of Michiel Brosky, Stefan Fabian, Charlie Carrel, Rashed Zade and Samuli Sipila.
