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 �C 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.
