Seat 5: Ropati Toleafoa (New Zealand) - 163,000

On paper, Ropati Toleafoa is probably one of the underdogs at the APPT Auckland final table. He'll begin the final round with just 163,000 in chips – the table's shortest stack. To date, Toleafoa has posted only one major cash during his brief, three-and-a-half-year poker career, but that one cash was here at SKYCITY, at last year's APPT Auckland Main Event (17th - NZD $7,101).
He's gone deep in this event before and has already bested last year's mark, which should give him some extra confidence heading into the final table. The 36-year-old storeman considers his style "unpredictable," which could prove to serve him well against some of the more experienced players he'll be up against.
