Student Craig Marquis will be hoping for a big pay day

Craig Marquis will sit down at the WSOP Main Event Final Table with 10,120,000 in chips, and work to do

-- Chip count: 10,120,000

-- Age 23

-- From Arlington in Texas

-- College Student

-- Has been playing poker for only about 18 months

-- Plays the guitar

-- Plans to buy his family a swimming pool with the prize money

-- Paid cash to enter

Not your ordinary college kid, Marquis attends school in Texas, majors in finance, and counts guys like Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan and Dave ‘Raptor’ Benefield as his friends. He’s proud of his performance – ‘I won a 12m-chip pot by reading a bluff off Brandon Cantu. It’s one of the best hands I’ve ever played.’
