Seat 5: Jim Psaros (Newcastle, New South Wales) - 2,640,000 chips

[user162117]

Our clear chip leader entering the final table is 56-year old Jim Psaros. This Professor of Accounting certainly had the numbers add up in his favour late on Day 3 as he amassed over one million chips more than his nearest opponent.

Psaros has been playing poker for six years after first exposed to the game at a local pub poker event. He describes himself as a small stakes cash grinder, and has a few small results in weekly tournaments at The Star, but this final table will be the biggest result of his poker career so far.

Psaros is another player who has proven that "tight is right". Late on Day 2, Psarros made a big fold with pocket kings on a nine-high flop which he says was he defining moment of his tournament so far. We'll have to see if that decision will carry him all the way to the title.
