Don "Final Table" Mullis is a new car dealer from Mooresville, NC. In his ten-month poker career, he has made 9 WSOP Circuit final tables and 2 final tables at the Ultimate Poker Challenge. Tops among these was his gold championship ring in the Lake Tahoe WSOP Circuit. He started the final table here in Tunica with $155,000 in chips.
