Daniel Zappulla, PPO Event 7 Champ

Daniel Zappulla began his Sunday looking to take home a Guitar trophy, fell short of that goal,  but turned his day around by picking up a different Pinktober Poker Open title.

He made Day 2 of the PPO Championship and cashed in 30th of 298 for $2,330. Zappulla went to the cage, entered the $200 Bankroll Builder, and walked away with the win along with another $4,940.

Not a bad day.

Zappulla cashed in four of the seven PPO events he was eligible to play (we don’t think he qualifies to play the Seniors Event), including three of the biggest fields of the series.

Congrats Daniel!
