Shankar Pillai is one of the most accomplished players in today’s field with ~$1.16M in career earnings. The field would have been happy to see him fail to bag but after working with an average stack all day, Pillai has jumped up the leader-board and now sits with ~450k.
Pillai has a very long list of cashes but just one significant score here at Parx. His 4th highest pay-out came at the Big Stax IV 1100 Main Event when he finished 3rd for $42,327. He will now look to add another major cash this weekend and will be starting Day 2 with a formidable stack to work with.
