![[user80015]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
At 55, Manuel Hansimikali is the senior-most contestant at the final table. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, the self-employed businessman discovered poker five years ago and has remained a hobby player since. Hansimikali said he taught himself how to play by practicing on PokerStars.
Hansimikali has some local live cashes here in Sydney, but nothing close to the $36,000 he’s already guaranteed to win no matter how the final table pans out. When he’s not playing cards, Hansimikali enjoys golf and fishing in his spare time. He’ll enter the final table with a sixth-best 589,000 in chips.
