Seat 7: Cary Katz (540,000)
While technically an amateur, Cary Katz, who is in his early 40s and resides in Las Vegas, is no stranger to poker. He's regularly played in the world's highest buy-in events, including this summer's $1 million buy-in Big One For One Drop at the World Series of Poker.
Katz, who is married with six children, is the Chief Executive Officer of the seventh- largest student loan company in the United States, the College Loan Corporation (CLC), which has helped more than 800,000 students by providing them with over $19 billion in college loans since it was founded in 1999. He is also the acting chairman of a Stop Child Predators, nonprofit organization founded to help protect children and hold their victimizers accountable.
Katz, who has a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Georgia, has $831,047 in career earnings, though his biggest score was just $51,713 for a 12th-place finish in a 2011 WSOP $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Event.
