Seat 6: Alexander Lakhov - 3,130,000 (78bb)
42-year old Alexander Lakhov will start the final table second in chips. The St Petersburg native is a regular on the world tournament scene where he balances life as a professional poker player with being a father.
Lakhov has earned over $1.2m in live tournament earnings and his most recent victory came in this very casino when he triumphed over 248 entrants to beat Seref Anar in heads-up action to take the $124,161 first prize at the recent partypoker WPT National Merit Cyprus Main Event.
This is Lakhov��s third WPT Main Event final table performance, and he will be hoping to go one place further than the runner-up position he gained when losing out to Marcin Wydrowski at Season XI WPT Prague. Lakhov picked up $289,985 for that placement, and it remains his largest payout to date.
Lakhov finished the final table better than anyone, including taking the scalp of Alexander Nudin to set up the final table.
