Seat 8: Ned Mantua (945,000)
Ned Mantua is a 68-year-old gas station manager from Bodega Bay, California. He has four children (and their spouses) and four grandchildren scattered across the country, and we understand they are avid PokerNews followers this week. When he's not looking for fish at the poker table, Mantua can often be found in the waters north of the Bay Area doing some actual fishing.
Mantua enters the final table with the second-biggest stack of 945,000 chips.
