Seat 8: Gabe Patgorski (2,263,000)
Say hello to your chip leader. Gabe Patgorski, 24, is a professional poker player from Chesapeake, Virginia. He graduated from UVA, and he spends his free time hosting a radio talk show and exploring business ventures.
In Patgorski's short poker career, he's racked up about $65,000 in earnings, a number which is likely to skyrocket today. He's been the chip leader for most of this tournament, and his massive 2.263-million-chip stack gives him more than a 2:1 lead over his closest challenger. Patgorski has two previous WSOP cashes, and this is his first at its baby sister WSOPC. Will it come with a ring at the end of the day?
