Seat 8: Daniel Neilson (Campbelltown, New South Wales) - 122,000 chips
Daniel Neilson would like us to think he is a former Dolphin Trainer who now earns his bread and butter as a Professional Clay Shooter. While his performances on the shooting range this week in Queenstown have certainly been impressive, we think that too many appearances on ANZPT final tables is starting to give away his secret — this guy know how to play some cards.
Over $1.2 million in career winnings might be a bit of a give away also as Neilson brings the most decorated poker resume to this final table. With six WSOP cashes and three previous ANZPT cashes to his credit, Neilson's biggest score came at the EPT San Remo with 3rd place worth €285,000.
Hopefully Neilson hasn't used up all of his run good after he said that the most defining moment of this tournament was being let through customs into the country. Perhaps he'll have a new trophy to declare on the way home?
