The only player at the final table not from the United States, 47-year-old Alistar “Al” Melville calls Toronto, Canada home. Having been in Boston for work (a little more than an hour’s drive away), Melville decided to make the trip to Mohegan Sun on a whim, with no intention of playing the Main Event. Now that he’s in the money and has reached the final table, he considers the rest of it “all a bonus.” Melville is a hobby player, who works in sales by occupation. He’s a big hockey fan and loves to travel, so needless to say he’ll be able to enjoy a whole lot more of both were he to take down the Main Event. Melville enters the final table with a healthy 2,940,000 in chips.
