Mustapha Kanit, the only non-American at the final table, starts the day as the short stack. Kanit is already number one on Italy’s all-time money list with over $4 million in total earnings, but did you know a win here today will be the biggest cash of his career?
His previous biggest cash was $1,048,243 at EPT Monte Carlo where he won the Super High Roller. Most recently, he finished third in the World Series of Poker Europe High Roller and won the EPT Barcelona High Roller in August.
Kanit was on the verge of elimination yesterday and in danger of not cashing. However, he worked his short stack up to not only survive the money bubble, but to put himself in contention for the $1,687,800 first-place prize.
