Seat 8: Vanessa Selbst (2,249,000)
Making a return to the NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event final table is defending champ and Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst. Vanessa won the first ever NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event championship, and it appears she's not looking to give up the crown anytime soon. Should she emerge victorious at Wednesday's final table, Vanessa would become the first player in NAPT history to win back-to-back titles, and the first player to hold two NAPT Main Event titles, period. Her already stellar tournament resume includes a WSOP bracelet, a victory at the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event and more than $3.6 million in career tournament earnings. Selbst holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University and is working toward a law degree at the same prestigious college. Vanessa will unbag 2,249,000 in chips when play recommences.
