Seat 4: Phil Collins (23,875,000) – Phil Collins is a 26-year-old poker pro originally from Rockford, Illinois who now calls Las Vegas home. Although some may think the famous musical artist is at the final table, he in fact was named after the man. His rail would often sing “In the Air Tonight” each time he won a pot.
Seat 5: Anton Makiievskyi (13,825,000) – Anton Makiievskyi of Dnipropetrousk, Ukraine is playing in his first-ever WSOP. He’s looking to be the fifth Ukrainian to take home a WSOP bracelet this year, which would pull Ukraine into a tie with Canada for the second-most bracelets of any country behind the U.S. If he wins, he will be the youngest ever WSOP Main Event Champion. He wears his friends Ukrainian jacket who won a WSOP bracelet earlier in this series for good luck.
Seat 6: Sam Holden (12,375,000) – Sam Holden is a 22-year-old poker pro from Canterbury, England. The former student is making his WSOP debut this year, and this marks his first WSOP cash.

Seat 7: Pius Heinz (16,425,000) – Pius Heinz of Cologne, Germany is a 22-year-old student who first learned poker via home games with friends. This marks his first WSOP, and it has been a successful one, including a final table in Event No. 48 ($1,500 NLHE) where he finished seventh to earn $83,286.
Seat 8: Ben Lamb (20,875,000) – Ben Lamb is probably the most high-profile at the table. He has more than $2.5 million in career winnings and numerous WSOP cashes. Lamb also earned his first WSOP bracelet this summer in Event No. 42, the $10,000 PLO Championship, and added 2nd place and another deep run to put himself in first place in this year’s WSOP Player of the Year race, overtaking Phil Hellmuth in the Main Event. Lamb’s previous best finish in the WSOP Main Event was a 14th-place finish in 2009.
Seat 9: Martin Staszko (40,175,000) – Martin Staszko is a 35-year-old poker pro from Trinec of the Czech Republic who previously worked in the automotive industry.

As a Brit I've love to see Sam win. But if I was to put money on someone it'd be Pius. The odds for Lamb and Collins are lol short. Getting 7-1 about Heinz here in Aus I think that's a decent bet. Looking forward to watching it live on espn .
