Matt GiannettiMatt Giannetti is in third chip position entering the 2011 WSOP main event final table with 24.75 million. A 26-year-old poker professional from New York, Giannetti attended the University of Texas in Austin prior to moving to Las Vegas to play poker full time. During that time he played primarily high-stakes online cash games under the name ‘hazards21.’

Prior to making the November Nine, Giannetti had $550,000 in tournament earnings and two WSOP final table appearances. Giannetti came into the final table bubble with a short stack, but was able to rebuild significantly, winning two huge pots with pocket jacks.
