Seat 1: Justin 'Catboy' Greilich
Justin “Catboy” Greilich brings a gambler’s heart and a sharp mind to every hand he plays. An avid roulette player, he’s spent the past five years working on poker, a game he first discovered through his love of Magic: The Gathering.
Whether he’s in a No-Limit Hold’em or Pot-Limit Omaha tournament, Catboy plays with fearless confidence and a dry sense of humor that keeps both friends and opponents guessing. His favorite player, Garrett Adelstein, mirrors the style he admires: composed, thoughtful, and unafraid to make bold moves when the moment calls for it.
When he’s not at the tables, Justin can usually be found on the futsal court (a fast-paced indoor variant of soccer) or exploring new places around the world. And while he jokes that he might be “in trouble” for playing on his girlfriend’s birthday, this final table should give her something to cheer about.
Catboy’s long-term goal is straightforward and unapologetic - make that money - and with his combination of nerve and instinct, he’s well on his way.
Seat 2: Roger "The Peacemaker" Franco - Austin, TX
Roger Franco, better known at the table as “The Peacemaker,” is a dedicated tournament pro with a clear focus and a steady hand. His game of choice is Pot-Limit Omaha, where his vision for multi-way dynamics and action-heavy pots lets him find the spots many are hesitant to take.
With his sights set firmly on the next rung up, Roger’s long-term goal is to win a ring or bracelet at the World Series of Poker. All signs point toward someone ready to “make peace” with nothing less than success.
Seat 3: Andrew 'Tranimal' Tran
Andrew “Tranimal” Tran brings energy, focus, and heart to every table he sits at. A restaurant industry veteran by trade, he’s spent the past four years diving deep into tournament poker after first picking up the game in high school. Known for his easygoing personality and sharp instincts, he thrives in the ebb and flow of tourney play where patience and pressure collide.
His favorite player, Alex Foxen, inspires his mix of discipline and aggression — traits that make Tranimal a tough opponent deep in any event. Back home, his biggest supporters are his family in Austin and Dallas, along with his girlfriend cheering him on from Montana.
When he’s not stacking chips, Andrew is usually socializing with friends or holding court at the pool table. His long-term goal is simple but ambitious: to notch a six-figure tournament score and prove that his steady climb through the ranks is just the beginning of the story.
Seat 4: Christopher Parkes - Austin, Tx
Austin native, Christopher Parkes is a regular on the tournament scene in the Austin area, with nearly $110,000 in lifetime winnings, including a dozen cashes already in 2025. An entrepeneur by trade, Parkes is the co-founder of multiple brands, including AllPro Staffing and AllPure Hand Sanitizer. He has won multiple awards in the business world and now sets his sights on more winning in the poker world.
Seat 5: Eric Tang (RAZ3RPUP) - Austin, TX
Eric Tang brings nearly $300,000 in lifetime tournament earnings and a passion for the game to the final table. Going by the poker nickname "RAZ3RPUP," the Austin-based player has 78 career cashes since taking up tournament poker five years ago.
Tang's biggest career score came in August 2024 with a 3rd-place finish at The Lodge for $118,269. He's no stranger to success at The Lodge, having also notched back-to-back victories in early 2023 when he took down both the $15K Guaranteed Freeroll and the Sunday $15K Guaranteed Deepstack Freezeout in the same week.
Outside of poker, Tang is a digital marketing professional and an active member of the Austin community. He's the founder of Austin Social Tennis and Austin Social Pickleball, social sports leagues that bring young adults together through friendly competition. When he's not at the tables, you'll find him on the pickleball or tennis court, playing board games with friends, or exploring Austin with his dog, Denali.
Tang's favorite poker format? Bomb pots—where the action is guaranteed. His long-term poker goal is clear and ambitious: to win a WSOP bracelet. With nearly $300K in earnings already under his belt and a demonstrated ability to perform at the highest levels, Tang has the skills and dedication to make that dream a reality.
Seat 6: Satya Vegi - West Fargo, North Dakota
Satya Vegi has been navigating the world of poker since 2006, when he first discovered the game on free Yahoo online tables after hearing about it through friends. A civil engineer by trade, Satya brings the same analytical thinking, quiet confidence, and long-game perspective from his profession to the felt.
While he enjoys No-Limit Hold ’em and Pot-Limit Omaha, Satya doesn’t align himself with a favorite player or emulate any one style — his edge comes from forging his own path.
At home, his loyal supporter is his friend Srini, who has always believed in Satya’s potential. In recent months his family and a growing circle of friends have seen what he’s capable of.
When he steps away from the felt, Satya resets by playing chess and hitting the courts for pickleball — blending mental discipline and physical movement to round out the day. Looking ahead, Satya’s long-term goal is clear: to punch his ticket to the World Series of Poker Main Event. With decades of experience, a grounded background, and the hunger to headline the big stage, Satya Vegi is a player you’ll want to keep an eye on at this final table.
Seat 7: Japneet Singh Chawla - New Delhi, FL, India
Japneet “Jay” Singh discovered poker when he was just 14 years old after stumbling across PokerStars’ play-money tables online. It planted a seed that would grow years later into a serious pursuit. Now, with 2–3 years of live experience and a deep analytical background from his career as a software engineer, Jay brings logic, patience, and adaptability to both No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha.
His favorite player, Raminder Singh, also happens to be family — and his biggest supporter. The rest of Team Singh, spread between Austin and Florida, including his uncle Raminder and brothers Harry and Tarun, are always watching his progress and cheering him on.
When he steps away from the poker room, Jay keeps his competitive edge sharp with pickleball, tennis, and badminton, or by heading outdoors to hike near the water. Smart, focused, and quietly confident, Japneet Singh is part of a new generation of technically minded players ready to make their mark on the tournament scene.
Seat 8: Reitta Seidel - Live Oak, TX
“DeeDee” Seidel has been immersed in the world of poker for more than two decades, ever since she watched the World Series of Poker on television and soon found a local bar game to join. Over the years her favorite format has become no-limit Hold em, the game she loves most and the one she plays when the lights are on and the stakes are real.
When she was starting out, poker led her to meet her husband Steve — a fitting beginning, since he’s been rooting her on ever since and keeps tabs on her cash-game updates while she’s on the tournament trail. At home, her grandkids Brooke, Addie and Dean send their own cheering section (and yes in-order they spell “BAD”). Beyond the felt, DeeDee’s joy comes from family time out in nature: camping, fishing, reading a good book and floating around the pool with all the gang.
Quietly determined and approachable at the table, DeeDee names her favorites in the game — Alex Kornuth, Kristen Foxen and Lou Garza — not because she tries to mimic them, but because she admires their game and consistency.
What most players don’t know? She and Steve first met over a bar poker game nearly 20 years ago — and that origin story still fuels her competitive fire. Now, with a long background at the tables and countless battles, her long-term ambition is as clear as it is bold: she wants to win a WSOP ring or bracelet, clinch a WPT title, and shift her life into full professional-player mode.
DeeDee doesn’t just play the game — she’s building toward the next level. And as she walks into this final table, know this: she’s not just here to participate — she’s here to make her mark.
Seat 9: John Skrovan - Burnaby, BC, Canada
For more than 20 years, John Skrovan has brought precision, patience, and intellect to the poker table. A longtime student of the game, he first discovered poker after moving up from blackjack at the casino, quickly finding that the mental challenge of No-Limit Hold’em tournaments suited his competitive streak.
When he’s not grinding on the felt, John lives a life of adventure. He loves to travel, hike, and scuba dive, and once spent three years backpacking around the world without stopping. Away from the table, his two brothers, three nephews, and one niece are his biggest fans, tuning in to watch his tournament runs on stream.
Most players don’t know that behind his calm, analytical approach is a PhD in materials engineering and the discipline of a second-degree black belt. That combination of intellect and focus has become his trademark edge.
John’s long-term goal is to capture a seven-figure score, and with his mix of skill, experience, and composure under pressure, it’s only a matter of time before he reaches it.
