Matthew Su's Main Event Story

Matthew Su's Main Event story truly started coming alive on Day 7, where he started off as 25th out of 35 before ultimately soaring to the overnight chip lead. Before that, Su found himself quietly grinding throughout the tournament, including getting from Day 3 to Day 4 by literally adding just one T-5,000 chip to his stack.

Su has just three previously registered cashes on his Hendon Mob profile, with a 43rd place at last year's WPT Five Diamond Classic in the Bellagio for $29,230 as his previously best finish. Now, he's guaranteed at least $850,675 and finds himself in prime position to capture poker immortality.

Su got into poker back in high school, where he was a frequent watcher of the World Poker Tour and WSOP on ESPN. He started out playing $5 games with his friends in the woods of New Hampshire. He admires Erik Seidel as a poker player because of his ability to win across multiple eras.

Su��s Run to the Final Table

Until Day 7, Matthew Su had mostly stayed away from the spotlights. His first live reported update came on Day 5 when he sent Ari Engel packing with a flush-over-flush. He then raced for his tournament life on Day 6 but won with ace-king against pocket queens to double up and stay alive.

On Day 7, Su started his ascend by eliminating Adam Demersseman in a pair of hands before sending Tzur Levy to the rail by holding with queens against ace-queen. That pot gave him the ammo to take on the aggressive and volatile Karim Rebei, which stack he decimated to truly launch him towards the top.

There was a pivotal hand where Su got it in with a gutshot and his opponent had top pair top kicker. Su was about 14% to survive but hit his gutshot to continue his main event dream. Apart from that, a series of small and medium-sized pots kept going his way ultimately contributed to him sporting 83,200,000 at the final table.

He'll return in the five-seat with 69 big blinds to start his quest to win poker's most coveted prize.
