Seat 7: Fred Berger (Slidell, Louisiana) -- 518,000

Coming into today, Berger has over $640,000 in career tournament earnings. It will be interesting to see if Berger’s experience will help vault him over this field of relative newcomers.

Seat 8: Dan Lacourse (Toledo, Ohio) -- 1,364,000

Dan Lacourse has lifetime earnings of a whopping $1,208. Lacourse doesn’t even have to show up and will easily score his largest tournament cash of his poker life. Considering that he is second in chips, it is a safe bet that he will show and try to take this title down.
