Seat 2 - Joe Pelton
Pelton made a big splash in the fall of 2006 when he made back-to-back World Poker Tour final tables, winning the 2006 Legends of Poker and coming in third at the Festa Al Lago tourney. He has cashed five times previously at the WSOP, including a final table at last summer's $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event. Pelton's total career earnings exceed $2 million, making him second only to J.C. Tran in career earnings among our final table participants.
