Seat 7: Cole Swannack – 1,262,000
Twenty-year-old Cole Swannack from Auckland, New Zealand is the youngest player at the 2010 APPT Macau Main Event final table. Swannack listed “Student” as his occupation, though he also said he’s been playing poker professionally for the past year and a half.
Primarily a cash-game player, Swannack’s best tournament finish to date was a runner-up showing at the 2010 New Zealand Poker Championships in Christchurch, where he collected a respectable USD $23,235 for his efforts.
Swannack considers basketball and video games his primary hobbies outside of poker. Swannack’s student-status may be in jeopardy if he’s able to convert his field-leading starting stack of 1,262,000 into a victory here in Macau.
