Mario De La Puente

Players are back in their seats after the first break and the entry count is up to 158 for Flight B. That is good enough for 326 combined entries and a $500,000 prize pool.

There were no big stacks standing out during the break. Then we reached Mario De La Puente’s table. A full barrel of 5Ks and change have him up to 120,200 from 30,000 starting after three levels of play. That’s easily good enough for the early chip lead.

De La Puente is the owner of two Tampa guitar trophies, both coming within a week of each other during the WPTDeepStacks Tampa series in 2019.
