Jonathan Depa is an up-and-comer from Chicago, Illinois. This is his second WSOP, and his third in-the-money finish. He took 36th in the $2,500 six-handed event last year, and 92nd in the $1,500 event this year, also short-handed. He has just over $9,000 in career cashes, so his finish today will multiply that several times over, regardless of where he finishes.

He begins play with 185,000 chips.

Max "Italian Pirate" Pescatori is a native of Milan, Italy, and has been playing poker since he was 15 years old. He was the chip leader for much of Day 2 before slowing down a tad towards the end of play. There's no doubt he'll be ready for today, though. Pescatori has over $2,000,000 in career earnings, including a recent first-place finish in the $1,000 buy-in event at the L.A. Poker Classic in February. He is also the proud owner of a gold bracelet, which he earned in 2006 playing a $2,500 NLHE event.

He begins play with 212,000 chips.
