You would think I'd be rooting for the guy named Lynch but by most accounts - the guy has been a real jerk. If this is true - then I know who I want to see win:
David Einhorn, a 37-year-old hedge fund manager from New York, leaped into third place Monday after winning a 7 million, three-way all-in pot. The bigger surprise to players around him was Einhorn telling The Associated Press that his winnings will go entirely toward The Michael J. Fox Foundation to help cure Parkinson’s disease. “Michael said if I make it to the final table, he’ll fly out,” said Einhorn, who serves on the foundation’s board.
