David Fox is a 30-year-old professional poker player from Coram, NY. He
says the most interesting thing about himself is that he “never wins a
hand with Ace-Queen.” He does arrive with the second-highest chip count
today. David has an impressive list of cashes and final table appearances
on his poker resume. Yet, he has never won a major tournament. He did
take second place at the East Coast Poker Championships last November
and fifth at the Trump Poker Classic in December.

Chuck Norris is a 37-year-old general contractor and land developer from
Fayetteville, NC. He is married and has one son. Chuck is also a U.S.
Army veteran. He was in the special forces and served in the Persian Gulf
War. If this final table were an ass-kicking contest, the favorite would
certainly be Chuck Norris. Instead, he comes in with the biggest
challenge of anyone – as the lowest player in chips. This will be his
second time to cash at the Caesars Atlantic City Circuit event.

appears to be an average number of chips.
