Coming into the final table second in chips with 640,000 is Hayden Fortini from Vero Beach, Florida. He is a 21-year-old student, but also has students of his own as Fortini's a poker instructor at Deep Stacks University. He knows a thing or two about the game having already amassed over $163,000 in career earnings at such a young age.

Back in March 2009, Fortini had a great month at the Battles at the Beach in Pompano. He won the $900 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em for $50,000 and also the $900 Championship Event for $59,044. His third largest score came in November 2010 when he placed second in the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em event at the 2010 Isle Open Poker Championship for $40,527.

Fortini was able to play those events listed above prior to turning 21 as the legal age to play poker in Florida is 18 for most casinos. He's now legal to play anywhere and this final table could be the first of many we start seeing him at.
