The APPT Grand Final will be held at Sydney��s Star City Casino next month, so it��s appropriate that a casino dealer from a sister property to Star City should make the final table of the APPT Macau: Asian Poker Open. Playing in his first major live tournament, this 21-year-old (he only celebrated this milestone birthday last week) is a dealer at Treasury Casino in Brisbane, Australia. Born in Australia to a Vietnamese mother and a father originally from Hong Kong, he��s been playing poker for several years but only decided to try his luck in Macau after cashing fifth in a Sunday Million warm-up on PokerStars. He ensured a spot at the final table when he doubled through "ElkY" Grospellier late on Day Two, when his pocket jacks held up against the Frenchman��s A-Q.
