The great story of the final table, this 26-year-old timed a holiday to Macau with his wife around the APPT Macau: Asian Poker Open, with the hope of snaring a seat on the cheap. He lined up in the first mega satellite, and hung on to grab the last seat on offer for the Main Event. He’s now in the running to take home the first prize of $222,640 USD – not a bad souvenir to take back to his home in Singapore! A keen poker player, he enjoys the occasional cash game but has little tournament experience and has been thrilled with the opportunity to mix it with the world’s best, after gaining a taste of the PokerStars.net APPT in Manila three months ago. He is second in chips heading into the final table.
