Seat 6: Mehdi Senhaji (369,000)
Not much can be said about Mehdi Senhaji, who comes into the final table second on the leader board. We know he's from Casablanca, Morocco and that this is his first WSOP ever. Not bad that he happened to maneuver his way to the final table second in chips. Senhaji has been playing some power poker throughout the event and we really haven't seen him without a big stack. He's made some timely lay downs of big hands and pounced when the time was right - all of which have helped him get here to the final table.
Much like his tablemate JP Kelly, Senhaji will be chasing some history today. If he can pull off the win, he'll become the first-ever WSOP champion and gold bracelet winner from Morocco. Not only that, but he'd be the first player ever to take home a WSOP title from the massive continent of Africa. We'd say that's a lot riding on his shoulders then.
Senhaji made it to this even. The question is now, how much more will he make? Senhaji already dons a pair of gold-trimmed headphones, something a shiny gold bracelet would match up with rather nicely.
