Fuad Serhan pushes under the gun on the very first hand of the day. "You only have to get through Adam," says Neil as he folds the small blind. And Adam does indeed fold.

First blood to Serhan.

Seat 9 - Adam Junglen
Adam Junglen isn't even old enough to play in the WSOP-Las Vegas, but that hasn't stopped him from banking over $300,000 in live career earnings at only 20 years of age. Junglen developed his skills on the internet, his largest online score coming from a July 2007 victory in the PokerStars Sunday Million, where he banked over $198,000. Later that summer, he made the final table of the EPT Barcelona, where he finished 6th. Entering the final table as the chip leader, Junglen would like nothing more than to join Annette Obrestad in that elite club of under-21 bracelet winners.

Seat 8 - Neil Channing
Neil "Bad Beat" Channing is 40 years old but insists he looks younger. The Londoner tells us that he staked nine other players in this tournament "and watched them be embarrassed to be knocked out long before this old-school pro." Once a bookmaker and sports bettor, Channing now plays poker full-time. Channing has dozens of final tables to his credit in events throughout the U.K. and has already cashed seven times at the 2008 WSOP, all in no-limit and pot-limit hold'em events. His largest career win came this past March at the Irish Open, where he took down the Main Event, winning over $1.2 million. This is his 15th WSOP cash and his first final table.

Seat 7 - Linda Lee
Our lone lady at the final table is 36-year old Linda Lee. Born in Saigon, Vietnam and now living in Las Vegas, Nevada, Lee is a manager at Cardoza Publishing, which publishes gaming titles including Doyle Brunson's legendary Super/System. Engaged to Cardoza Publishing owner Avery Cardoza, Lee is also a mother of two. This is Lee's second WSOP cash, her first being an 11th-place finish in this summer's $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, earning her over $24,000.
