Heimiller is the elder statesman at the final table with more than $5.7 in career tournament earnings including two WSOP bracelets and two WSOP circuit rings.

Plantation, FL
3,210,000 (107 bb)

Snider is one of the unknowns in today’s Big 4 festivities. He’s studay orginally from Fort Lauderdale with no recorded tournament cashes so he already set to earn the biggest poker payday of his career.

Wong was a local poker celebrity long before he made his mark this summer. He already had some big results to his credit, including a third place finish in the 2013 PCA Main Event, but most will know Wong now as a member of the 2016 WSOP Main Event November Nine.

Seat 7: Koray Aldemir

Aldemir is one of our more successful players in the event. He cashed eight times this summer during the World Series of Poker including a second place finish to poker legend Adrian Mateos.
