Seat 6: Brian Rast (Las Vegas, United States) - 1,185,000 chips
The most accomplished player on the Aussie Millions is undoubtedly American Brian Rast. The 33-year old poker pro has amassed almost US$8 million in career earnings, with two WSOP bracelets, highlighted by his 2011 victory in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
Rast first got started in the game some 12 years ago while in University and has now carved a niche as one of the best players in the game.
Away from poker, Rast enjoys music, movies, fitness, nutrition, reading and basketball. He says that Melbourne is a great city, Crown is a fantastic hotel and he loves coming back here. He'll love it even more if he can head home with the Aussie Millions trophy.
