Hailing from Perth, local Steve McHugh is a self-employed 39 year-old who's been playing poker for 10 years. He got into the game after watching it on TV and despite not cashing, the highlight of his poker career so far was playing the 2010 WSOP Main Event.
McHugh only has two live scores to his name and by locking up at least ninth place this week he's already guaranteed to more than triple his total live earnings. After starting Day 3 with the third shortest stack, he managed to grind it out and survive to remain in contention for the title.
