Seat 6: Eddy Sabat – Los Angeles, USA
24-year-old Eddy Sabat has a chance to make APPT history this weekend. Should he conquer Sunday’s final table, he would become the first player ever to win multiple APPT titles. Sabat won the 2008 APPT Macau Main Event and with it, $453,000 in prize money.
Currently residing in Los Angeles, California, Sabat has been playing poker professionally for three years and already has more than $670,000 in cashes to his name. Sabat credits his brother Joseph for teaching him the game and said he hopes to get heads-up with friend Daniel Negreanu, who helped talk Sabat into making the trip Down Under.
Sabat was all set to head down to Panama with his girlfriend, but changed his plans last minute and came to Australia instead. Sabat has as good a shot as any to take down the title on Sunday, entering the final table with a fourth-best 917,000 in chips.
