Another player who will be part of the action is the infamously talkative Brit William Kassouf. However, Kassouf will be starting off with one of the shorter stacks today with 336,000 or 14 big blinds with the action set to begin on Level 22 with blinds at 12,000/24,000 and an ante of 4,000. Regardless of how the day turns out for Kassouf and all of the 22 remaining players, each is guaranteed to walk away with a payout of €35,140.
