$150 Big Stack No Limit Holdem (Re-Entry)
Level 18: 5,000/10,000/1,000

Tampa regular John Pappas is your chip leader in Event 4. Pappas, who placed 30th in the Winter Poker Open series-opening event just a few days ago, holds 1,055,000 chips good for more than 100 big blinds at this point. Pappas has recorded more than a dozen cashes at this property and claims nearly $100,000 in career earnings. Most notably, he finished runner up in the Fall DeepStack Poker Series Event 1 for $23,000.

Pappas’ rise to fame here on Day 2 came at the hands of fellow local Tommy Nguyen. Nguyen held on an flop and shoved. Pappas held for Broadway and all he could do is call. Nguyen never improved and hit the rail at the hands of the new chip leader.
