After staging a remarkable recovery at the end of Day Two (he doubled up twice in the last 15 minutes), 22-year-old Brett Parise has little to lose in his first final table experience. However, the college student (he’s studying political science and business economics in California) had a taste of the limelight when he started in the Mixed Hold’em event at this year’s World Series of Poker. With four years of poker experience under his belt, the Indiana native battled through a massive field in a PokerStars freeroll to win his seat to the APPT in Manila, which marks just the second time he’s trekked outside the United States. Brett was extremely lucky to make it to this event given that he didn't even receive his passport until two hours before his flight!
