Seat 8: Aaron Duczak (40) - Kamloops, BC, Canada - 56,000,000 (47bb)
Aaron Duczak is a regular at the World Series of Poker, one with 40 cashes dating back to 2011. However, the upcoming WSOP Main Event is the first WSOP final table that Duczak has reached; he plans to make the most of it.
Some $156,927 of Duczak's $423,887 in career winnings stem from WSOP events. After missing out on the 2021 WSOP, Duczak arrived late in 2022 and scored one cash when he finished 159th in the $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $4,355 before his run to the Main Event final table.
Ten or 12 Canadians are heading to support Duczak on the rail for the final table.
"I've a small contingent of crazy Canadians coming here for sure, maybe 10 or 12. They are probably going to be louder than the Brits for sure."
Now there is a challenge if ever we saw one.
Duczak has remained cool, calm and collected through his Main Event run, although it helps to always have the best hand in key hands.
"The last week and a bit, every time I have had the best and, and each time it held up. I don't think I ever got it in behind. I'm waiting until tomorrow to get it in behind and suck out!
