Kenneth Damm
We've said it a few times this week but, Damm he's good! Kenneth Damm is the youngest player at this final table but has already made a lasting impression on everyone at the PokerNews Cup.
Earlier this week he collected the trophy in the $550 Tony G Celebrity Shootout, taking home $26,583 in prize money.
He started today as the short stack of the table but he is now currently our chip leader and looking for the rare double of winning two titles at the same PokerNews Cup series - which would be a first in PNC history.
After winning his Main Event seat via an online PokerNews satellite, Damm will forever remember his trip to Australia as he looks to add another $250,000 to his quickly expanding bankroll!
