The self-proclaimed "Psycho Ninja," Curt Kohlberg enters the final table with 1.58 million chips (around 31 big blinds). Kohlberg is no stranger to success on the World Poker Tour, reaching final tables in Seasons IV, VIII, and IX.

Kohlberg, who has $2,394,831 in career live tournament earnings, recorded his biggest score at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown in Season IX, finishing runner-up for $586,109. The Psycho Ninja also finished fifth at the Season VIII WPT World Poker Finals and the Season IV WPT Grand Prix de Paris.

A very experienced player, Kohlberg's Hendon Mob profile extends all the way back to 1997. In fact, he won three events before Chris Moneymaker incited the poker boom in 2003.

Kohlberg has a tough road ahead of him with both Byron Kaverman and Keven Stammen on his left, and will need to accumulate chips during the first few levels of play if he wants to take home the $1.35 million top prize.
