Almost hidden in the corner of the room, Jake Balsiger occupies Seat 8 at Table 2. Balsiger gained poker fame with a deep run in the 2012 Main Event, where he ultimately finished third behind Greg Merson and Jesse Sylvia. Balsiger scored some scattered four and five-figure cashes since that $3.8 million score before choosing another one of the world's biggest tournaments to make his presence felt again: the 2014 Aussie Millions. There, he once again finished third, this time for about $568,000.
