$570 Deep Stack NLH Re-Entry
$300,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 7: 400/800 with a 800 ante
Flight E Entries: 176 (Total Entries: 634)

Never one to shy from action, it’s no surprise to see Marvin “The Duckman” Karlins with a big stack early here in Flight E of the $570. Karlins, a published author and university professor, is a regular in the Tampa poker room. His poker achievements include a final table appearance in a $5,000 buy-in event in Jacksonville along with more than $280,000 in earnings.

Karlin’s tournament resume is devoid of any wins, though, and he’s hoping a hot start here in the $570 is the first step toward finding the winner’s circle. Later in Level 7 he’s already tripled up and sits with about 100,000 chips.
