Seat 1: Antoine Amourette, United Kingdom (50,000 chips)

28-year-old Antoine Amourette is one of the most accomplished players left in the tournament. He regularly plays online satellites for live tournaments and has made final tables at the WSOP (2009, $2,000 NLHE, 8th place), WPT (2010, �10,000 NLHE, 2nd place) and APPT (2010, $6,000 NLHE, 5th place). Despite this success, the big one - a live championship - has so far eluded him. His work is cut out for him if he wants to grab that brass ring in Cebu.
Amourette had a plane out of Cebu scheduled for Sunday night. He was debating whether he should even come back for the final table after the defining moment of the tournament for him, what he called "the last f***ing hand". On the last hand of Day 3, Amourette's pocket queens were rivered by Jacky Wang's pocket jacks to cripple Amourette to four big blinds. He jokingly offered to "tip very well" (hint, hint) if he draws the button to start the final table.
