Seat 4: Diego Ventura -- 3,980,000
Peru's Diego Ventura is smack dab in the middle of the pack heading into Day 6, carrying 3.98 million in chips. This will be by far the largest live score of his poker career, and remarkably only his second result ever posted. Previously, Ventura cashed in an Estrellas Poker Tour event in Barcelona for €780.
Ventura is a Supernova on PokerStars, and his only live cash result holds just about the same price tag as the satellite buy-in he used to win his way into this event. Ventura played a $700 qualifier on PokerStars just before the close of 2014 and ended up securing a $16,000 package to the Bahamas. He's now turned that into over $285,000 in the least.
Online, Ventura has nearly $1.5 million in earnings and a couple of big scores. His best result was a third-place finish in the Sunday Million in the middle of 2013 for $107,728.
