Tyler Kenney is a 21-year-old semi-professional poker player from Long Beach, NY. Tyler is the younger brother of Bryn Kenney, a well known high stakes cash game player who has appeared on the PokerStars.net Big Game and finished third at the 2011 PCA Super High Roller Event ($643,000). Tyler credits Bryn for teaching him the game. Tyler has an impressive tournament resume for only having been a "legal" in the United States for 10 months. He's cashed in two World Series of Poker events, chopped a $5,000 buy-in event at the 2010 Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $90,000 and has amassed more than $140,000 in tournament earnings since turning 21. Tyler enters Wednesday's final table as its chip leader with 3,021,000 in chips.
Aaron Overton became a professional poker player after finishing his undergraduate studies at the University of Vermont. The 28-year-old from Philadelphia, PA is a cash-game specialist, and admits he rarely plays "tornadoes," (tournaments), but won his seat to the Mohegan Sun Main Event in a $1,000 satellite. When he's not playing cards, Overton can be found snowboarding, biking or spending time with his friends and family. The man they call the "Mighty Redwood" will begin the final table as its short-stack with 373,000 in chips.
Making a return to the NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event final table is defending champ and Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst. Vanessa won the first ever NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event championship, and it appears she's not looking to give up the crown anytime soon. Should she emerge victorious at Wednesday's final table, Vanessa would become the first player in NAPT history to win back-to-back titles, and the first player to hold two NAPT Main Event titles, period. Her already stellar tournament resume includes a WSOP bracelet, a victory at the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event and more than $3.6 million in career tournament earnings. Selbst holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University and is working toward a law degree at the same prestigious college. Vanessa will unbag 2,249,000 in chips when play recommences.
