Seat 3: David "Chino" Rheem, 38, Los Angeles, CA/USA - 7,550,000
Los Angeles' David "Chino" Rheem is a professional poker player who's been grinding live tournaments for well over a decade. The 38-year-old boasts nearly $9 million in live cashes. His most remarkable moments at the felt came in 2008 when he first made the WSOP Main Event final table (banking $1,772,650 for 7th place) and then added a victory in the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic only a month later, taking home a handsome $1,538,730. Rheem's pedigree features further two seven-figure paydays.
While Rheem has made for his name on the World Poker Tour circuit, where he's won three WPT titles, he'd previously cashed only once in a PCA Main Event (141st in 2011).
