Event 35 - Antes and Bring-ins and Completions, Oh My!
1 year ago
Our thrilling Stud final table is underway, and surprisingly enough none of our competitors are using walkers or breathing apparatuses. There are a few solid resumes around the table, however. Here's a look at the starting lineup for the day:
Seat 1 - Leo Torosyan - $114,500
Torosyan originally hails from Armenia but now lives in Los Angeles, where he works as a banker and loan officer. He is making his first final table appearance at the WSOP today.
Seat 2 - Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri - $252,500
A protege of three-time bracelet winner John Bonetti, this Philadelphia-based baseball instructor is making his second final table appearance of this WSOP.
Seat 3 - Maxwell Troy - $88,500
Troy has been playing Stud professionally for 13 years, starting off in New Jersey but eventually moving to Los Angeles, where he plays high-level cash games where he describes the edges as "very marginal." This event marks his first WSOP cash.
Seat 4 - Mike Rocco - $255,000
Rocco, a Las Vegas-based professional player, is making his first final table appearance at the WSOP. This also happens to be his first cash.
Seat 5 - Giacomo D'Agostino - $123,000
This final table marks the second career cash for D'Agostino, who is based out of Providence, Rhode Island.
Seat 6 - Andre Boyer - $106,000
Boyer, of Montreal, Canada, is arguably the most accomplished player at the table. He won the 2005 $3,000 NLHE event here at the WSOP and already has 18 cashes to his credit.
Seat 7 - Jeffrey Siegal - $150,000
Siegal originally hails from New York, but the 41-year-old software engineer now calls Daly City, Calif. home. This is his third career WSOP cash and his first final table.
Seat 8 - Danny Kalpakis - $55,000
Kalpakis originally came from Toronto, but he now lives in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. This is his first career WSOP cash.
