$560 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 8: 400/800/100 Ante

We’re into the eighth level of the day as we hit 80 entrants in the game, quite a few on their second or third bullet of the flight. Players have this level plus the 15-minute color up break to jump in.

We found two friends willy nilly pushing chips around their table and having fun. AJ Santos’ good-time antics have been well documented and he’s back (we can’t tell where he’ll be from one entry to the next). Anthony Pellegrini is sitting at a nearby table and neither is in their seat for very long.

Both players made the PLO event final table and were part of a three-way deal that saw Pellegrini pick up the bonus $1,650 Winter Poker Open Championship seat. That was the second final table of the series for Pellegrini, he finished 6th in Event 3 and the remaining players immediately chopped it up.
