Bardah is a Brockton, Massachusetts native who cut his teeth in poker along the East Coast in cardrooms such as Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods along with Atlantic City. Bardah's got nearly $115,000 in career tournament winnings, mostly from small buy-in events in states that border the Atlantic Ocean. His largest flat out win came back in August of 2007 when he won the $500 No-Limit Hold'em event at the Empire State Hold'em Championships. Bardah has played the WSOP Main Event a few times, but has never made it to the money. He'll surely be looking to get that monkey off his back this year and is off to a nice start, up to 41,000 in chips.
