This is the third APPT cash for this PokerStars-sponsored player – all final tables. He was fifth in this event last year, and finished ninth in the 2008 APPT Macau High Roller. An accomplished player with an excellent record in live and online play (he is a PokerStars SuperNova), his standout result came at the 2007 WSOP when he finished third in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha w/ rebuys event for more than USD $190,000.
