![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Sameer Rattonsey, one of two final table players that hails from India, is a virtual unknown to the high-stakes poker world. His career highlight to date in more than 10 years of playing poker was finishing 2nd at the November 2011 APT Asian Series Goa Main Event ($25,749). He credits World Poker Tour television broadcasts featuring world-class pros like Phil Hellmuth and Gus Hansen for jump-starting his interest in "serious" poker.
Rattonsey's big break in the tournament came when he slow-played aces from the small blind and got a huge double-up when his opponent in the big blind shoved all in. When he's not sitting in front of the computer screen playing poker, he prefers to sit in front of the tv screen watching movies and tv shows.
