Melbourne native Steve Bouya has been playing poker as a hobby for the past 10 years. Bouya is 51-years-young and has a little more than $60,000 in prize money to his name; the bulk of which he earned for a third-place finish in a $1,000 buy-in side event at the 2009 Aussie Millions. Bouya credits nephew Van Marcus (also at the APPT Melbourne Main Event final table) for getting him started in poker and noted that he��d like to go heads up with Van over any other player at the table.

Bouya enjoys fishing in his spare time. Should he finish fifth or higher, Bouya will have set a personal best for the most money won in a single tournament. Bouya enters the final table third in chips.
