Brian Lerner is coming into the final table with a substantial chip lead and is a relative newcomer to the Bar Poker Open. After joining the Deepstacks Poker League only eight months ago, this is his first taste of the BPO and what a way to start!

Lerner works as a construction project manager back home in St Loius and had a huge rail following along from home, and he hopes to take the title and top prize back to the Show-Me state.
