Andrew Hiscox, a 50-year-old casual poker player who works in the IT industry, was born and raised in South Africa before moving to Australia later in life. A father-of-two and former professional blackjack player, Hiscox took up poker about a year ago and says he enjoys the challenges the game brings. He bought in directly to the APPT Grand Final and said a victory in this event would mean a “change in lifestyle, for the better”.
Hiscox enters the final table as one of its shorter stacks with 848,000 in chips.
