Seat 1: Eddie Mascardi, Australia - 335,000
Eddie Mascadri lives in Brisbane, Australia and has been playing poker for about four years. Mascadri is a hobby player with just one live result on his tournament resume: a 17th-place finish at the 2010 APPT Auckland Main Event (NZD $7,200).
The 42-year-old works as a courier in Brisbane and enjoys soccer and Aussie Rules football in his spare time. Mascadri is a regular at his local pub poker game and hopes to return home to Brisbane later this week with a $330,000 story to tell. He��ll have his work cut out for him at the final table, however, starting the day as the short-stack with 335,000 in chips.
