Seat 8: Dean Blatt (Melbourne, Victoria) - 219,000 chips
At 25 years of age, Dean Blatt is an emerging young player on the Australian poker scene, but has results dating all the way back to 2008. Blatt has a previous WSOP and ANZPT cash to his credit, but his biggest result came last month when he finished in third place in the Aussie Millions Bounty Event for a $36,000 score.
Blatt credits ANZPT Auckland runner-up Nathan Gubieski as his biggest poker influence. Blatt was the bubble boy in Auckland, but he's reached the money in Perth and will be hoping to better Nathan's result here today.
