Seat 4: Raymond Lapitan (Sydney, Australia) – 158,000 chips
A 27-year old IT Analyst from Sydney, Raymond Lapitan has flown under the radar for much of the tournament as he reaches the final table on the short stack. Lapitan has been playing poker for nine years after first watching the game on television.
Lapitan won’t be overawed at this final table, with experience playing at a WPT event against the world’s best – a moment that he credits as the highlight of his career. Lapitan finished 14th at the 2008 APPT Sydney Grand Final which was his previous biggest result before this final table.
