Seat 2: Scott Shelley (148,000)
Scott Shelley is an amateur player from right here in London, and he works for a European online poker site. It is his second year playing at the WSOPE, though he was without a cash in his first go-round in 2009. It wasn't for lack of trying though; Shelley bubbled this event to leave empty-handed.
One year later, he's qualified for this event through a staff satellite. He's parlaying that entry into something special here, turning in an impressive performance that's led him all the way to the final table. He begins play in the middle of the pack with 148,000 chips, and he's already locked up his first WSOP cash this week.
