The Dragon looks primed to run over this final table.

Christian Harder, a student from Annapolis, Maryland, is playing in his first live big buy-in event. After studying business last semester at Salisbury University, he decided to take this semester off to play poker. He's getting off to a pretty good start after qualifying on PokerStars in a $650 multi-table satellite.

Known as "charder30" online, Harder is no stranger to tournament poker. He spends most of his time playing the biggest buy-in tournaments online with $80k in a $1k event being his biggest win to date. Although the shortest stack at the table, Harder still feels confident going into final table play.

Kris Kuykendalls raises to $150,000 from late position and David "The Dragon" Pham makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes J 2 2 and Pham checks to Kuykendall, who bets out $175,000. Pham quickly raises $350,000 and Kuykendall gives the matter some thought before finally laying it down. Pham takes the pot.

Kris, who turned 25 yesterday, January 9, graduated with a business degree from the University of Cincinatti and coaches wrestling in his spare time. He has only been playing poker for two years and turned pro after six months.

He specialises in online cash games, $2/$4 and $5/$10 No-Limit, and when he won his seat to the PCA, it was the first satellite he had ever played. The PCA is also his first ever live tournament but he says he found the transition from online to live pretty easy. This is his biggest result to date. He added: "I've had an up and down tournament so far. "
