Seat 2: Fedor Holz (192,000)
The shortest stack returning to the final day in the 2016 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge is Fedor Holz. He's also the youngest player of the bunch and will bring 192,000 in chips to play.
Holz got his first big breakout when he won the 2014 World Championship of Online Poker Main Event on PokerStars for $1.3 million playing as "CrownUpGuy." That name seems quite fitting as Holz is in the money and looking to make a big splash if he can run it up in this event at Crown Melbourne.
After that big win online padded Holz's bankroll and helped put his face on the map, Holz took to the live tournament scene. He's since all but taken over the poker world, amassing over $7.35 million in live tournament earnings in a short period. Most recently, Holz win the World Poker Tour Alpha8 $100,000 Super High Roller at Bellagio in Las Vegas for nearly $1.6 million in December. He followed that victory up with another huge win, this time for more than $3.46 million, in the Triton Super High Roller Series $200,000 Cali Cup at WPT Philippines in January.
Holz also booked a deep run in the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event, finishing 25th for $262,574 and getting a ton of air time on ESPN thanks to his recent success and highly-aggressive play.
