Dan Alfano is at ~180k and is sitting in a very tough seat. Alfano has only two career cashes on his resume and a cash in the Borgata Fall Poker Open Event #1 for $1,097 is the best of those two. The players around him there are no strangers to tournament play. On his right are Jesse Cohen and Joe Palma, on his left is Bill Miller making it a very tough seat. However, Alfano has the chips for now and that counts for a lot more than experience as he looks to continue moving up on Day 1B.
