Player Profiles - Scott Numoto

Seat 2: Scott Numoto, USA:

This native of San Jose, California (home to the Bay 101 Casino and the WPT Shooting Stars tournament) has four WSOP cashes under his belt, including an in-the-money finish in the 2005 main event (won by Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem) and a final table (fourth) in the $2000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament two years earlier.

The 40-year-old father of four, whose family heritage dates back to Japan several generations ago, formerly worked in the real estate industry before turning his focus to a new form of investment: professional poker. A cash-game specialist, his most recent win came on home soil at the Bay 101 in the $300 Omaha Hi/Lo Split event at the 2006 Bay 101 Open. He arrives at the final table of the $15,000 APPT Macau High Roller Event as the short stack.

Player Profiles - Emad Tahtouh

Seat 3: Emad Tahtouh, Australia:

One of the most exciting young players on the Australian poker scene, he holds a special place in the annals of poker history as the man who gave Joe Hachem the reason to attend the 2005 WSOP. The 25-year-old Australian won his WSOP seat via a PokerStars satellite, and convinced his friend to join him on the trip to Las Vegas. However, the Melburnian has built an impressive tournament CV of his own, highlighted by his runner-up finish in the 2006 PokerStars EPT London main event, which earned him £285,900 (or just over $A720,000) for his second placing.

At the 2006 WSOP, Tahtouh celebrated his first final table appearance with a seventh in the $5000 Pot Limit Hold’em event. He was also runner-up in the 2004 Speed Poker Championships in Melbourne, and was second in last month’s $10,000 Bad Boys of Poker Invitational at the PokerNews Cup.
