$150 Big Stack No Limit Holdem (Re-Entry)
Level 24: 20,000/40,000/5,000
Following Chuck Ellinger’s elimination in 11th, the 95-player restart in Event 4 is down to the final 10. Leading the way with 1,595,000 chips is Connecticut’s Greg Osborne. Osbrone, a retired member of the Navy, has been playing poker for 30 years and claims various cashes throughout the country.
Others at the finale include fellow East Coast-er Eric Rivkin. Rivkin cashed in Event 1 just a few days ago and followed it up with another cash in Event 3. With that, he’s in the midst of his third cash of the series and hopes to make it count with a victory here in Event 4. Also making another deep run is Brandon Byars. He finished 8th in Event 3 and hopes to improve on that performance tonight.
