Seat 4: Isaac “westmenloAA” Baron, 26, Chicago, USA - 2,995,000
Originally from Menlo Park, Calfornia, Baron now calls Chicago, Illinois home. It’s not the only major change for the 26-year-old online poker legend. Baron has lost a lot of weight in recent months and is hardly recognizable. This is Baron’s first major final table in nearly two years.
“It’s been a while since I made a big final table. I’ve kind of been flying under the radar. I haven’t been playing too many tournaments,” he said.”
In the meantime, the man with millions in online wins and $2.6 million in live cashes has been playing live cash games and taking some college classes. He’s looking forward to getting back to the big time.
“I had decided to give tournaments a break for a little while, but I decided in the New Year I was going to give them another go. It’s going good so far.”
