Diwei Huang
Diwei ��Bryan�� Huang is a 23-year-old student from Singapore. He has some previous live poker experience to his credit after freerolling onto a poker cruise in 2006, where he won almost US$80,000 in a preliminary event. Huang showed no fear during the Macau Main Event, being perfectly willing to put all of his chips at risk at any time. His aggressive style may set the tone in the early stages of today's final table.

Javed Abrahams
Javed Abrahams, a 23-year-old from London, has some of the most live poker experience of all of the final table participants today. He made a final table at the 2008 WPT Bellagio Cup, finishing in eighth place for more than US$100,000, and has also cashed in three PokerStars EPT events over the past three years. His highest finish was 19th in the 2007 EPT Barcelona Main Event. With only 215,000 chips, Abrahams will have a tough uphill climb at today's final table if he hopes to secure first place.

Mikael Rosen
Mikael Rosen is a 31-year-old software engineer from Sweden. Rosen has been quietly hanging around for the last several days of play during the APPT Macau Main Event. We haven't mentioned him much in our coverage, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have the skills to secure a victory here today. The fact that he has made the final table should be all the proof of that.

Jeppe Drivsholm may only be 24 years old, but he does have some live poker tournament experience on his resume. Drivsholm notched a third-place finish in the charity event played at the Macau Cup in May 2008, and was part of the field in the inaugural APPT event last year in Manila, Philippines. Drivsholm appears to be another in the crop of young Scandinavians who have been making their mark on the poker world in the last few years. He starts the final table in excellent position to take down the whole tournament.

The Macanese local Kuok Wai Will Cheong has honed his skills in the Macau poker rooms over the past few years but has never reached such heights as an APPT final table. This 28 year old will have all of the locals cheering him on, and after being very short-stacked during Day Two, he enters the final table with a competitive 334,000 chips.

Tian Chen has battled back from being one of the shorter stacks on Day Three to enter today's final table fourth in chips. With no major tournament results to speak of, Chen's experience comes from cash games around the US and China, as he looks to cement his place in Asian poker history today.

So Myung Sim doesn't have any previous results to speak of as this is only his second major live tournament. Coming from a Starcraft background, Sim has now turned his attention firmly to poker and will be looking to make a big impression in Asia'a biggest poker tournament. He has the biggest mountain to climb of any of the final table players as he enters with the short stack.

Edward Sabat is a PokerStars qualifier from the United States and despite being the youngest player at the final table he brings some solid results to today's competition. 2008 has seen Sabat record cashes at the WPT, WSOP, and LAPT and with career earnings of over $150,000, Sabat will be looking for his first major tournament victory today.

Sabat stormed to the chip lead late yesterday when he eliminated two players with his pocket aces, and enters the final table with the second biggest chip stack.
