Seat 6: Nikita Lebedev (Moscow, RUSSIA)
Nikita Levedev is a 24-year old former trader who is attending the WSOP for the first time.
His first visit has seen some success already with a cash in Event #4: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em, but here at the final table, he is already guaranteed his biggest score to date besting his deep run in the European Poker Tour Kiev Main Event in 2009.
Arriving on these shores from Moscow, Russia, Lebedev earned his degree from the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, but if he can top this final table, it is likely that his switch to playing poker will pay off handsomely.
