Kenneth Lind is leading this final table with more than half the chips in play. He took a few minutes during the last break to tell PokerNews a little about himself.

PokerNews: What motivated you to play this tournament?

Lind: I��ve been playing poker, Hold��em, for 10 or 12 years. Played a few tournaments here and there. I play every Wednesday night with a bunch of friends. And I put it on my ��Bucket List.�� I said I want to play at the World Series before I start pushing grass up. So I spent some time thinking about it, and my wife kept saying, ��Go, go, go.�� And I kept saying, ��Well...it��s a thousand dollars. That��s a lot of money.�� I might have a couple hours of fun and then I��m sitting on my...derriere, who knows? And I guess there are people around that have more confidence in me than I have in myself. And a real good friend of mine said, ��Ken, you go. Why don��t you go, and I��ll pay your entry fee.�� And I told him, ��No.�� I kept saying ��no�� for months. And finally he said, ��A lot of pros have somebody backing them. I��m going to back you.�� And I said, ��OK,�� and that��s why I��m here. It��s my first WSOP. I��ve never been in a tournament with more than 10 tables. And here I am at the end of this tournament with 4,407 people, and I��m still in shock.

Several legends of the game were in this tournament. Johnny Chan, T. J. Cloutier, to name a few. How does it feel to outlast them?

They were both in this one? The only pro that I saw was Bill Baxter. I looked around, but I don��t know which other pros were in the tournament. Chan and Cloutier...that��s really something. I��m shocked. You put in shock again. We might need a defibrillator here before long.

Are you planning to play again next year

My inclination is yes, but who knows? I might not even be around next year. My whole family died at 40, and here I am at 68. For the last 28 years, it��s been nothing but gravy for me.
