Seat 1: Joel Douaglin (New Caledonia) - 3,935,000 chips
Jovial 48-year old Joel Douaglin comes to this final table representing the emerging poker market of New Caledonia, and regardless of the result of this final table, he'll become New Caledonia's all-time leading money earner on Sunday night.
Douaglin normally plays in low limit tournaments and this result is easily his best with just a couple of small previous cashes on the ANZPT and APT.
Douaglin says that he enjoyed his time in Melbourne, especially the tournament directors and dealers who have done a wonderful job throughout the week.
With the second largest stack entering the final table, Douaglin is in with a great chance of putting New Caledonia on the poker map if he can claim the title.
