Seat #9 – Arthur Pro – 1,610,000

Mateusz_Pater

Hailing from Frisco, Texas, Arthur Pro is fairly unknown, notching up his first WSOP cash, and final table, in this event. Pro set himself up for this tournament, after a big hand against Ariel Celestino late on Day 2, assured him a deep run during Day 3.

Seat #8 – Matt Perrins – 1,946,000

Mateusz_Pater

The final international player at the table, Great Britain’s Matt Perrins, comes in as the chip leader, after tangling with Arthur Pro late in Day 3, to take top spot. Perrins is the only player at today’s table to have WSOP success, after capturing his first bracelet back in 2011, when he took down the $1,500 No Limit 2-7 Lowball event.

With the most chips in play, there’s nothing to say, that Perrins couldn’t become a multiple bracelet winner after the conclusion of today’s event.

Seat #7 – Randal Flowers – 619,000

Mateusz_Pater

Randal Flowers comes into today’s final table as one of the short stacks. From Winterville, North Carolina, this will mark his ninth cash in a WSOP event, and second of the series, after making a deep run in the Millionaire Maker event earlier in the series.

Though he hasn’t made his presence felt at the WSOP just yet, the young poker pro is better known for making history, when he became the youngest ever WPT champion, when he won the 2009 WPT Spanish Championship. A year later, he took down the WPT Festa Al Lago Main Event, making him the youngest player to win two WPT titles.

After finishing second on two occasions, Serock will be hoping it's third time lucky, as he tries to win his first gold bracelet.

After 16 WSOP career cashes, Berkey will be hoping this is his time, as he looks to capture that elusive gold bracelet.

Seat #4 – Kent Roed – 482,000

Mateusz_Pater

Kent Roed comes into today’s final table as the shortest stack, after a roller-coaster Day 3. From Bergen, Norway, Roed has secured his first WSOP cash, but isn’t a stranger to deep runs, after solid performances in WPT and EPT events in the past year.

He will be hoping to make his presence felt early today, as he attempts to gain some momentum against the bigger stacks on the table.
