Byron Kaverman is the tournament short stack heading into Day 3, and the only player under 1 million in chips. With a stack of 495,000, Kaverman will enter the final nine with under 10 big blinds and have a lot of work cut out for him.
After really igniting a spark in his poker career in 2014 with more than $1.4 million in live tournament earnings, Kaverman has already one-upped himself with more than $2.4 million in winnings this year — and that's before this event. Coming into this tournament, Kaverman has recorded six six-figure cashes this year.
One of those results was a huge one — the second largest of his career — and came at the World Series of Poker when he won the $10,000 Six-Max No-Limit Hold'em Championship for his first gold bracelet and $657,351. His other big paydays in 2015 were for $409,219, $332,593, $282,948, $282,435, and $243,240. Two of those scores were from back in March when Kaverman won back-to-back Aria $25,000 High Roller events in the span of one weekend.
