Seat 5: Xin "David" Zhao, Australia -- 511,000
David Zhao is one of the most aggressive and talented young players in Australia, and will be very dangerous on this final table. Zhao is a 27-year old from Melbourne with seven years experience in the game. Zhao is normally found grinding the $5/5 and $5/10 No-Limit Hold'em cash games in Melbourne, but is also extremely competent in tournaments with a runner-up finish in the 2011 Melbourne Poker Championships to his credit.
Zhao won a key coinflip with pocket queens against the ace-king of Kristian Lunardi on the final hand of Day 2 to jump towards the top of the counts, and with a big stack in hand, he was never threatened as he dominated Day 3.
Zhao has loved Queenstown, and says the great food and friendly people have highlighted his trip so far. Winning the title will cap it off perfectly!
