Small business owner, Mike Ciarlante, was excited to return to a Big Stax final table this year after his 3rd place finish in our February 750 Big stax event. His son returned home late last night from an army deployment to South Korea (Thank you for your service!) and he contemplated leaving early, but instead continued to knock out his opponents and hold the chip lead for much of day 2 and all of today. Ciarlante lives by the motto to be the better person, and is very excited to be taking home the trophy and title. Well done and congratulations!
