Final Table Bios: Seat 6 - David Paredes (4,700,000) | 2010 NAPT Venetian

Paredes has been playing poker since high school but only recently started playing full time. He originally studied law and – in true Rounders fashion – paid for his whole law school education through poker. After graduating from Harvard and NYU, he started working for a hedge fund company in New York. Around six months ago however, Paredes’ life changed completely when his girlfriend Caitlin – a doctor – landed a job in Boston. Paredes gave up his job, moved in with Caitlin in Boston and now makes a living playing cash games online and live. Paredes rarely plays tournaments but successfully won a seat to next week’s European Poker Tour event in Berlin because his friend Zac Allemedine, winner of the NAPT Venetian charity event, had already qualified.
