In fitting fashion, former online tournament star Anthony ��casedismised�� Spinella won Event #64: $1,000 WSOP.com Online No-Limit Hold'em for $197,743 and his first bracelet. Spinella had a decent live resume with more than $650,000 in cashes coming into the tournament but was best known for banking more than $4.5 million online under the moniker ��holdplz.��
That final table convened at noon and was over in just a few hours as the speedy structure and shallow stacks �C levels were only 40 minutes and the average stack was less than 25 big blinds �C encourage players to mix it up. Spinella's online background means he's comfortable operating at such stack depths and was ready to make the proper adjustments.
In a way, Spinella's bracelet coming in the online event means his poker career has come full circle. As a top online tournament grinder, Black Friday changed his life in a big way. He called finding a place to live outside the states ��chaotic and difficult�� but has now settled in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for the time being, where he lives from September through February, when he's not following the World Poker Tour.
��It's obviously way more exciting to play and finish live,�� he said. ��I wanted my first bracelet to be a live event, but I'll take what I can get.��
