Vanessa Selbst finds herself once again at the final table of the NAPT Mohegan Sun main event after winning the title last year. She sits in second behind Tyler Kenney, brother of online high stakes player Bryn Kenney. If Selbst wins, she would become the first two-time winner on the NAPT.
Selbst won $750,000 for her victory last year at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, but after a big drop in attendance, from 716 down to 387, the first place prize-money has dropped to $450,000, with each player guaranteed at least $32,330 for an 8th place finish.
Selbst's final table opponents include 2010 NAPT Los Angeles winner Joe Tehan. Tehan will enter the final table in the middle of the pack in terms of chips. Another familiar name to poker fans at the final table is Dan Shak, the former hedge fund manager turned poker player.
The final table seat and chip arrangement:
Seat 1: Joe Tehan — 1,238,000
Seat 2: Thomas Hoglund, Jr. — 541,000
Seat 3: Dan Shak — 1,571,000
Seat 4: Vincent Rubianes — 1,711,000
