One of only two non-Australians at the final table, this 28-year-old marketing student considers himself a full-time poker player. Hermans satellited into the APPT Grand Final via a $22 rebuy event on PokerStars and is already assured a career-high tournament cash. Hermans bubbled the final table of a $1,500 NLHE event at the 2009 WSOP and finished in the top 40 at the PokerStars EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo two years ago. He is the narrow chip leader heading into the final table, sporting 2,048,000 in chips.
