Player Profile - Brett Parise
Chip Count: 173,000)
After staging a remarkable recovery at the end of Day Two (he doubled up twice in the last 15 minutes), 22-year-old Brett Parise has little to lose in his first final table experience. However, the college student (he��s studying political science and business economics in California) had a taste of the limelight when he started in the Mixed Hold��em event at this year��s World Series of Poker. With four years of poker experience under his belt, the Indiana native battled through a massive field in a PokerStars freeroll to win his seat to the APPT in Manila, which marks just the second time he��s trekked outside the United States. Brett was extremely lucky to make it to this event given that he didn't even receive his passport until two hours before his flight!
