Seat 9: Tony Dunst (Melbourne, Australia) -- 333,000

Tony Dunst
Tony Dunst
This is Dunst��s third cash at this year��s WSOP and his first-ever World Series final table. Dunst��s live career earnings are just over $100,000, but he is well known for his online achievements as 'Bond18'. He has several deep tournament runs in both the United States and Austrailia, but still seeks his first tournament win.

Seat 5: John Phan (Stockton, California) -- 396,500

John Phan
John Phan is by far the most experienced player at today��s final table. He has 13 tournament wins and over $3.3 million in lifetime earnings. He also holds a WSOP-C circuit title. One trophy that has eluded Phan so far is a WSOP bracelet. He has two runner-up finishes, but would desperately like to win this event.

Seat 4: Thuyen Doan (Williamsburg, Virginia) -- 369,500

Thuyen Doan
Thuyen Doan is the last woman standing in this event. She outlasted a lot of solid players, both men and women, to get to this point. At the start of Day 2, Doan was one of the tournament short stacks, but a key pot against John Phan on the bubble allowed her to survive to the money, and from that point she didn't look back. She seeks to be the second woman to take a WSOP bracelet in an open event this year. Doan starts the day as the third-lowest stack at the table, so she has some work ahead of her if she wants to have a shot at this title.

Seat 3: David Singer (Las Vegas, Nevada) -- 334,000 Chips

David Singer
David Singer has been having an amazing World Series. This will be Singer��s fourth cash this series, including his first bracelet in Event #3. He also holds the distinction of making the final table in both of the first two $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. events. Singer clearly would love to win his second bracelet today, but he has a long row to hoe starting off as one of the short stacks.
