Having made his start five years ago playing college home games, the 22-year-old UCLA sociology graduate has built up a bankroll online and is now traveling the world playing poker full-time. ��It feels really nice to make the final table,�� Shinzaki said. ��I��ve been playing really well and I��m looking forward to seeing more of New Zealand after this event.�� He��ll have more than enough spending money, having made his first ever live major tournament cash here at SKYCITY Auckland.
