![[user80015]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
At 55, Manuel Hansimikali is the senior-most contestant at the final table. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, the self-employed businessman discovered poker five years ago and has remained a hobby player since. Hansimikali said he taught himself how to play by practicing on PokerStars.
Hansimikali has some local live cashes here in Sydney, but nothing close to the $36,000 he��s already guaranteed to win no matter how the final table pans out. When he��s not playing cards, Hansimikali enjoys golf and fishing in his spare time. He��ll enter the final table with a sixth-best 589,000 in chips.
