Seat 2: Ashley Mason (United Kingdom) - 2,299,000 chips
Having relocated from the UK to now reside in Perth, Western Australia, 24-year old Ashley Mason might not have a big profile in the Australian live poker scene just yet, but he has certainly made an impression in the online poker world. Known as "AshTheDonkey" online, Mason is far from a donkey with a fearsome online record that boasts a victory in the 2011 World Championships of Online Poker High Roller Event for a massive US$430,000.
Mason's live tournament record is a little more modest, but he has already accumulated seven WSOP cashes that include a deep run in this year's Main Event where he finished 119th for US$50,752.
Mason is a man in form after winning the Six-Handed Event during the week for another $49,350 in winnings as he looks to secure his second trophy of the week.
