Tae Jun Noh
Tae Jun Noh
One of three Korean players at the final table, the story of this 24-year-old is not dissimilar to his compatriot and final table rival Michael Chang. He is a computer IT student from Seoul and has been playing poker for two years, mainly online. He journeyed to Manila for last year��s APT event and returned to the Philippines this year, wiser and ready to make his mark. He used FPPs to buy in, and sits in third chip position.
