Finding the luck when he needs it, combined with a fearless and aggressive style, Baumstein has managed to turn himself into the man everyone wishes to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>Baumstein comes into this table with a mammoth looking 130 big blinds. The 27-year old from New York City is the only non-French national who has made it to this final table. Baumstein wants nothing more than the number one spot and as any winner will also tell you his favourite hand is pocket aces.<\/p>\n<p>Six figure cashes are not an unfamiliar sight to the man who has been playing professionally for only three-years. Baumstein has won $431,813 playing live tournament poker and his two previous six-figure cashes both came this year. He won the PCA Heads-Up championship for $120,000 and then finished 4th in the $5,000 Bounty tournament for $146,639 at this summers WSOP in Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>So with great form also on the mans side you wouldn&#8217;t want to bet against him grabbing his first major title today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adrien Allain &#8211; 2,675,000 chips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Adrien Allain by PartyPoker, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/partypoker\/6314971730\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/6314971730_3a2d480b57.jpg\" alt=\"Adrien Allain\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Adrien Allain looks like he was born to play at a poker table. If he ever stopped playing he could get a job as a poker playing extra on a James Bond movie! Allain, who is 25-years of age, sits in his seat with his Aviator sunglasses looking as cool as a cucumber. So far during this competition only the chip leader himself has been able to rattle this contender.<\/p>\n<p>Allain won a huge flip on day one when his ace-queen defeated his opponents pocket kings. Back then he told us that he was willing to flip for a 100,000 stack and it turns out that it was a great decision to make. Yesterday Allain found a little bit more luck when the board helped him out to eliminate both Arnaud Mattern and Jean Phillipe Rohr. After that he systematically dismantled the stack of Nesrine Kourdourli to position himself just behind Baumstein in the chip counts.<\/p>\n<p>Allain first burst onto the poker scene in 2009 when he won the Asian Poker Tour in Macau for a $391,580. Just like Baumstein he is also on a good run of form with two cashes in this years WSOPE in Cannes, including a final table appearance in the \u20ac2,500 six-max NLHE tournament. In the run up to that tournament he was responsible for taking most of Phill Hellmuth&#8217;s chips and causing the Poker Brat a myriad of problems.<\/p>\n<p>With his 89 big blinds keep your eye on Adrien Allain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordane Ouin &#8211; 1,915,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Jordane Ouin by PartyPoker, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/partypoker\/6312277633\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/6312277633_6cf8a0c0dd.jpg\" alt=\"Jordane Ouin\" width=\"413\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The PartyPoker qualifier Jordane Ouin is one of the more modest poker players at the table.
