Seat 5: Thomas Ward (New Zealand) - 404,000 chips
Thomas Ward is a 24-year old poker pro with six years experience in the game. Although this is Ward's first major cash in his home country, he's regularly seen on the Asian poker scene, particularly in Macau where he has recorded the majority of his tournament results to date, including a fifth place finish in the August Macau Poker Cup.
Ward says that the highlight of his poker career was the opportunity to play in the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event where he made a deep run before cashing in 313th place for $33,734 in prize money.
