The chip leader at this final table is Canadian Kaveh Payman, from Vancouver, British Columbia. Earlier in this year's WSOP Europe, Payman placed 23rd in Event #1 for ￡5,624. According to WSOP Media Director Nolan Dalla, "Payman is in great position to earn what would be a first-ever WSOP victory."
When Payman isn't firing in bets and raises on the felt, he installs home theatre systems. He does take the game seriously though when he plays, even if that may only be part time. Payman has numerous cashes on his record, mostly from Canada. His total career live tournament earnings amount to nearly $60,000, but this will be his most prized finish to date. Earlier this year, Payman also cashed in an EPT side event while in Tallinn. He took fifth for €4,390.
Making a WSOP final table is something all poker players hope to do in their lives and Payman has a great chance to do even better, win the event. He has the most chips to start the day with 434,000.
