Finstein has over a quarter million in various WSOP event cashes and is also in search of his first bracelet.

Doug Polk has two bracelets, eleven cashes and over $850,000 in WSOP earnings. He is most well known for all of his work with his coaching site, Upswing Poker and has over $5,000,000 in total live recorded tournament earnings. His biggest live cash was for $1,648,350 when he took down the $100,000 No Limit Hold'em Super High Roller ii at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Keep an eye out for this team throughout the remainder of the night.
