Seat 6: [Removed:17] (Auckland, New Zealand) - 1,692,000 chips

20-year old [Removed:17] burst onto the local poker scene this year with a 6th place finish in the 2013 Aussie Millions and continues to impress at tournament events around the world. Yan followed up with small results at the WSOP APAC, EPT Berlin and the Sydney Poker Championships, which sees him now ranked 8th on New Zealand's all-time tournament money earners list.

Yan has the honour of becoming a Supernova Elite on PokerStars in 2012 which is not an easy achievement. Those hours grinding online are now starting to pay off on the local live tournament circuit.

Away from poker, Yan enjoys photography and travel, and says that Melbourne is a beautiful city with lots to see and do. He also feels that he always runs well at Crown which bodes well for him on the final table ahead.
