Dan Kelly (Day 3)

Dan Kelly, 24, is a professional poker player from Potomac, Maryland. Kelly is the only player at the final table with a World Series of Poker bracelet already in hand, winning the $25,000 Six-Handed World Championship in 2010 for $1,315,518. He was 21 at the time.

Kelly has over $2.3 million in live tournament earnings and nearly $6 million in online earnings. This is Kelly's 14th cash at the WSOP, and his fourth final table. Kelly made a second final table in 2010, finishing sixth in a $1,500 shootout, and last year he finished 8th in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship.

With a win, Kelly would join a group of elite players with multiple bracelets and inch very close to $3 million in live tournament earnings.

In 2011, Fish finished sixth in the L.A. Poker Classic, earning $235,350, then went on to cash in four World Series of Poker events that summer. In total, Fish has 17 WSOP cashes, including this event.

David Peters (Day 3)

David Peters, 26, is a professional poker player from Toledo, Ohio. A member of Team Ivey, Peters has over $3.2 million in online tournament earnings and over $2.7 million in live tournament earnings.

This is his 21st cash at the World Series of Poker. In 2010, Peters finished runner-up in a $1,000 buy-in event, earning $350,803. It is the largest score of his career, which is filled with close calls and near misses in major events.

Peters does have five live wins, however, including a gold ring in 2008, two wins at Festa al lago, and a Main Event victory on the HPT.

Team Ivey already has a bracelet this year with Phil himself winning one down under, and Peters could bring a second to the team with a win today.

Seat 7: Trevor Pope -- 3,420,000

Trevor Pope enters the final table with nearly half of the chips in play and roughly four times the average stack. Pope, a Wisconsin native, has five previous World Series of Poker cashes, including a seventh-place finish in a $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event in 2010. He earned $41,850 for his efforts, and it is the third-largest score of his career.

The largest score of Pope's career came in 2012 when he made the final table of the WPT $25,000 World Championship at the Bellagio. Pope busted in sixth, earning him $155,571, and can top that score today with a third-place finish or better.

With such a large stack, however, Pope will not be aiming for third place, he'll be targeting the win and what would be his first career WSOP gold bracelet.
