: 50/100, 0 ante
Every casino has a laundry list of regular players, but few are as long as that of Foxwoods. After all, what would you expect from the East Coast's largest poker room. Needless to say, many of the locals are taking their shot at WSOP glory here today. Here are just a few we spotted scattered about the room:
- Pete Campo of Waterford, Connecticut is no stranger to poker. He has amassed $373,545 in career tournament earnings, which includes a 20th-place finish in the 2013 Foxwoods Poker Classic $2,325 Main Event last month for $4,806. Among Campo��s other notable accomplishments are a 292nd-place finish in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event for $24,365; a victory in a $500 no-limit hold��em event at the 2009 WSOP Circuit Harrah��s Atlantic City for $41,080; and 3rd in the 2010 Mega Stack Challenge XVI $1,500 NLHE here at Foxwoods for $22,795.
- Another Foxwoods regular in today��s field is Bobby Corcione, who you may recall went deep in the 2012 WSOP Main Event��he ultimately finished in 21st place for $294,601. While that was by far the biggest score of his career and accounts for more than half his $496,593 in career earnings, he also has a few victories on his r��sum�� including in the 2011 Foxwoods Poker Classic $200 NLHE for $6,000; Mega Stack Challenge XX $600 NLHE back in May of 2011 for $26,887; and in a $500 NLHE Event in the 2011 Fall Showdown in Uncasville. Corcione hails from Bellingham, Massachusetts.
- Last and certainly least (as far as tournament earnings are concerned) is Ronnie Pease of Glastonbury, Connecticut. He has $169,077 in career earnings with the vast majority of that coming in 2011 when he finished runner-up to Phillip Reed here at Mashantucket in the Foxwoods Poker Classic $2,325 Main Event for $108,295. That event attracted 284 runners and created a prize pool of $640,490.
