Justin Fawcett

Justin Fawcett steamrolled the first three levels of play and returned from break with about 104,000 chips. That was good enough to put him in the top spot at the time, but he surrendered a pot the first hand following break. Fawcett still sits at about 90,000. Much of his climb to the top came courtesy of 2014 Winter Poker Open Championship winner, Andrew “AJ” Kelsall who he busted in Level 3.

Fawcett has experienced some success here at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa. The Gainesville resident finished third in June’s WPTDeepStacks-Tampa Main Event good for a score of over $47,000.
