David Grandieri (Danbury, CT)

There have been cries for coverage on David "Silent Storm" Grandieri on twitter since the start of this Day 2 session and after starting today with just over 20,000, it's time we answer those calls as Grandieri is now playing over 225,000 chips and is now a "far cry from where he started the day" as he so eloquently put it after taking down a pre-flop three-bet pot.

We just mentioned David Stefanski's run to go from 15 big blinds to the chip lead and Grandieri's might be even more impressive as he came into today with an under 10 big blind stack and is now playing over the average and looks poised to record another Foxwoods cash here today.

We say "another" because there are a lot of them, with the majority of his 30 live rated results coming from Foxwoods major tournaments, totaling just under $300,000 in career earnings.

Of those 30 results, Gandieri has Final Tabled close to a quarter of them and when you couple that fact with the fact that he's won three Foxwoods titles in his career, the rest of the field should be on "storm watch" as Gandieri is peaking and showing no signs of slowing down as we continue to play up to the money bubble here in the Card Player Poker Tour Main Event.

Players are just ten minutes from their next break.
