Five of our six final table participants refer to themselves as professional poker players by trade. Eric Hershler is the sixth. A Lawyer by profession, when I asked Eric about his past poker compliments, he didn't sugar coat it; "zero" and a smile were his only replies.
Born in South Africa, Hershler moved to LA years ago. He's since married, to wife Lanette, with other priorities taking precedence over his pokering. Of course, that didn't stop him from ponying up the $10,000 to play here.
Hershler fought a tough fight, surviving most of the last two days as a small stack before doubling through JC Tran, then winning another T800,000 from our chip leader. He finished on a good run, with T216,000 chips. If he wins this thing, he won't be suddenly changing professions, but he might diversify a little bit.
