Final Table Bios: Seat 7, Marc Naalden (Netherlands)

Shamus

Formerly a derivatives trader on the options exchange, Marc Naalden recently made the transition to professional poker player, and the move has been a good one. A native of Holland, Naalden currently makes his home in Antwerp, Belgium. Naalden already has one WSOP bracelet this summer, having won his first in Event No. 38, $2,000 Limit Hold'em. Naalden has numerous cashes on the European circuit, having earned just $1 million lifetime in tournaments. This event marks his eighth WSOP cash, and fourth this summer. It is believed this may be the first WSOP final table ever to feature two Dutch players -- Naalden and Van Den Bijgaart.
