$250 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 3: 75/150

AJ Santos’ antics at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino are well documented. If he’s in the room, you’ll know it — and he’s in the room quite often. Santos has never been one to shy away from a re-entry, but it looks like he may squeak out of Event 9 unscathed in that respect. Santos has turned his 20,000-chip starting stack into 75,000 during the early stages of the tournament. Rumor has it he’s made one of two moves each hand he’s played — all in, or fold.

In all seriousness, Santos has had quite the Winter Poker Open to this point. He kicked things off with a 32nd-place finish in the massive, 546-entry Event 4, then carded a runner up in the $250 pot-limit Omaha. Most recently, he worked his way through another tough field finishing 38th in yesterday’s 634-entry Event 4.
