Anthony Elmo is the perfect example of a local grinder. He has 11 career cashes totaling $17k in earnings but they all come in Big Stax events. His best finish in the 500 Main Event is 51st for $1932 and his best overall came in a Big Stax 1100, 26th for $4,177. Elmo has worked up a stack of 176k through six levels and currently has the chip-lead. He will look to bag another playable stack by night’s end and eventually get over the hump and make a Big Stax Final Table.
Here’s the rest of the leader-board:
- Jeffrey Hong 135k
- JR Marquette 129k
- Dan Alfano 123k
- Michael Melamed 120k
