Seat 2: Yann Dion -- 2,325,000

Yann Dion from Quebec City, Quebec, Canada will enter the final table fifth in chips with 2.325 million. The young Canadian boasts live tournament earnings of nearly $85,000 and has cashed in five separate countries. His largest score to date outside of this one would be a ninth-place finish in the €3,200 Main Event at the Irish Open 2010 for €37,700.

Online, Dion has much more on his record. His online tournament earnings total over $1.415 million and his largest score was for over $132,000. He's had several five-figure cashes online and one six-figure score. This Aussie Millions Main Event final table is Dion's first live six-figure score, but he's chosen quite the right time to get it as first place is worth $1.6 million.

With all of the online play under his belt, Dion may be the most experienced tournament player at the final table. Whether or not he'll be able to transition his online closing efforts to live is yet to be said, but we'll soon be able to find out when the final table kicks off.
