Seat 1: Jareth East (8,300,000 in chips)

The first seat at the table belongs to Jareth East. He’s 31 years old and calls the United Kingdom home.

His largest tournament score ahead of this WSOP Main Event was a $557,658 victory in a WPTDeepStacks online event on partypoker. He started playing poker when a college buddy taught him the game and helped influence his start in poker. East went on to drop out of college to play full-time and hasn’t looked back since.

Seat 2: Koray Aldemir (140,000,000 in chips)

Koray Aldemir is a big chip leader entering the final table. He’s in Seat 2 and has 175 big blinds to start, which accounts for 35% of the chips in play. Like East, Aldemir is 31 years old. Aldemir is German and resides in Austria. He lists his profession as being a student. With more than $12.3 million in live tournament earnings entering this WSOP Main Event, Aldemir is certainly the most experienced and successful player remaining.

His previous best live tournament score was for $27,047 from an event at the Venetian. Oliver listed his greatest accomplishment as running a marathon, but it wasn’t just any marathon. He ran the marathon for charity in honor of his mother. Oliver ran for a breast cancer charity after his mother passed away from breast cancer when he was a child. He said he recalls watching the WSOP Main Event when he was 17. “It was insane, and here we are now.”

Seat 4: Ozgur Secilmis (24,500,000 in chips)

Ozgur Secilmis is 37 years old from Istanbul, Turkey. He’s been fun-loving throughout the 2021 WSOP Main Event, often seen dancing at the table or playing up moments with his boisterous rail. Secilmis won a huge hand earlier when he made quads over quads. Secilmis said that he got into poker because a childhood friend forced him to start playing online. At first he didn’t want to, but he did, and now look at where he’s made it to. If he wins, he would like to use the money to play higher stakes and put his skills to the test.

Seat 5: George Holmes (83,700,000 in chips)

George Holmes is the oldest player to reach the final table, coming in at 49 years old. He’s from New Jersey but resides in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2019, Holmes placed 213th in the WSOP Main Event for $50,855. That’s his only live tournament cash on record. Holmes said that his first run has helped him this time around because he’s less intimidated. He works in credit card processing and payments and got started playing poker by playing weekly home games.

Chase Bianchi came into this WSOP Main Event with $872,718 in live tournament earnings. He won a gold bracelet at the WSOP in 2016, winning a $1,000 no-limit hold’em event for $316,920.

Seat 7: Joshua Remitio (40,000,000 in chips)

Joshua Remitio only has $1,809 on his live tournament résumé, according to HendonMob.com, but he’s now a millionaire thanks to reaching the final table of the 2021 WSOP Main Event. Remitio is 27 years old and resides in Las Vegas, although he was born in Corona, California. He studied finance at Arizona State University and enjoys powerlifting, video gaming, and streaming.
