Patrick Mahoney is the second international on this final table but has spent some time living down under over the past year or two, so he's well known in the local poker community. The 29-year old has impressive record with over $400,000 in live earnings including a 5th place at the 2011 WPT Biloxi Championship and a runner-up result at the 2012 LAPT Panama Main Event.
Mahoney was a little fortunate to get this far after, in his words, he "spew monkey four-bet jammed" pocket fives into pocket aces, only to bink a five on the flop with 25 players left. From there, Mahoney was able to navigate to the final table in strong shape.
Mahoney says that he enjoyed his time in the beautiful city of Perth with the friendly locals and staff, and he's very excited to have made a final table down under.
