Seaford Man Has Shot at $8.5 Million in Poker Tourney

Michael Esposito is already guaranteed to walk away with $754,598.

A Seaford man has earned a place at the World Series of Poker's final table, which means he'll walk away with at least $754,598 and potentially much more, according to a Newsday report

Michael Esposito, 44, has made it to the final nine players out of a field that started with 6,598 and in October when play resumes in Las Vegas, he'll be in the hunt for the cool $8.5 million that goes to the champion. 

"I would go back to work and live the life I live," the commodities trader told Newsday of his plans if he does win the champion's prize.
