A prominent figure in the Australian poker scene, Van Marcus enters the final table as not only the best credentialed player and chip leader, but also the in form player of the tournament.
Normally a high stakes cash game player online (he plays under the moniker "Sirens" at PokerStars), Van is having an amazing year on the live tournament circuit. He made two final tables at the Aussie Millions earlier this year, finishing fourth in both the $1500 No Limit Hold’em Feature Event and the $3000 Pot Limit Omaha tournament. His best tournament performance to date came just two months ago at the 2007 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, where he finished third in the $1500 Pot Limit Omaha w/ rebuys event behind Irishman Alan Smurfit. Marcus won more than $190,000 for this performance, which will stand him in good stead for the battle at today’s final table.
