Philippe Souki made it to the final 10 of the 2022 WSOP Main Event with 13,500,000 in chips. That puts him as the shortest stack returning, but he's nowhere near out of it just yet.

In November of 2021, Souki won a Grosvenor UK Poker Tour in London for £54,760 ($73,681) and his second-largest live tournament score prior to this event.

Seat 3: Matija Dobric - 68,650,000

 

If you followed last year's WSOP Main Event, then you may recognize Matija Dobric. In the 2021 WSOP Main Event, Dobric finished in 32nd place for $198,550. He's now returned with another deep run in the greatest tournament in the world and has reached the final 10 with 68,650,000 in chips.

 

A poker professional from Croatia, Dobric is 31 years old. He's married and has a dog named Mimi. It was back around 2011-2012 that Dobric began playing poker for fun with friends from his hometown. Then in 2016, he took the game up as a professional.

 

Outside of his 32nd-place finish in the 2021 World Series of Poker Main Event, Dobric's live tournament résumé is scattered with smaller cashes that range from $351 to $7,600. He's making his 12th WSOP cash with this run in the 2022 WSOP Main Event.

At 23 years old, Duek is the youngest player to reach the 2022 WSOP Main Event final table. His nickname is "Dreamer" which is quite fitting for someone running this deep in the WSOP Main Event. He began playing poker with friends and enjoys the beach.

 

Seat 5: Matthew Su - 83,200,000

 

A co-leader entering the final 10, Matthew Su is earning the largest live tournament score of his career with this run.

He's married to his wife, Julie, and has a young daughter, Bella. Duczak enjoys boating and lake life in addition to poker.

 

Duczak's largest live tournament score ahead of this WSOP Main Event run is a first-place finish in an MSPT event in Gary, Indiana, for $77,681. He got into poker during the "Moneymaker Boom" and said that he's been wearing a new Italian-made dress shirt every day and eating Hot N Juicy Crawfish on every dinner break during this run.

 

Seat 9: Espen Jorstad - 83,200,000

 

A co-leader entering the final 10, Epsen Jorstad is looking to score his second WSOP gold bracelet of the 2022 World Series of Poker. He previously won the $1,000 Tag Team event alongside Patrick Leonard. Jorstad is tied with Matthew Su for the most chips entering the final 10 at 83,200,000.

He also made the final table of the GGPoker WSOP Online $400 Forty Stack event in 2020, finishing fifth for $59,796. Jorstad is making his first-ever live WSOP Main Event cash.

 

Jorstad said he was introduced to poker through his friends from gaming, specifically Warcraft. He got started playing home games and has worked his way up the ranks. His plans for the money include investing in cryptocurrency and stocks.

 

When it comes to poker, Jorstad said his strength is his mental game. He also shared what he believes to be his weaknesses, which he says are out-of-position play and multi-way pots.
