**Seat 3:  Dan Shak - New York, NY**
At 51, Dan Shak is the oldest player at the Main Event final table.  Shak has lived most of his life in New York City, but is a world traveler and currently splits his time between Las Vegas and NY.  One of the hardest-working players in his game -- trading -- Shak can oft be seen fielding business calls or pecking away on his i-Pad in between hands at the poker table.  A talented tournament poker player, Shak has collected more than $2.4 million in prize money since he started playing tournaments back in 2004.  He'll begin the final table with 1,571,000 in chips.

**Seat 4:  Vincent Rubianes - Santa Barbara, CA**

**Seat 8:   Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst - Las Vegas, NV**
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.
