DiStefano Doing Better Than Double

CPPT Main Event (Day 2)

Level 14 (1,000/2,000/300)
Total Entrants: 282
Players Remaining: 80
Chip Average: 105,000

Anthony DiStefano (Albany, NY)

We've mentioned a few early "big gainers" so far today and Anthony DiStefano has outdone nearly all of them in the first level and a half of Day 2, already tripling his starting stack.

DiStefano (Albany, NY) came into today's Day 2 session with just over 50,000 chips, a very workable stack but one that was at risk of turning short quick as the blinds and antes went up over the first few levels of the day.

DiStefano doesn't have to work have to worry about being "short" anymore, now playing just under 145,000 after doubling through and eliminating Sam Haddad.

He's managed to chip up at a pretty "stacked" Day 2 table, playing with the likes of Foxwoods "regular" Tarun Gulati, WSOP Bracelet winner Ryan Eriquezzo and the previously mentioned Jason Calnan, who was just moved to Table 1.

DiStefano doesn't have much tournament history according to the Hendon Mob database, but we've seen more or less "unknown" players make big scores throughout the first part of this Card Player Poker Tour and after starting this Day 2 session with one of the bigger percentage gains to a stack we'e seen, we wouldn't be surprised if he was to make a deep run here in the CPPT Main Event.

There are just under 20 minutes remaining in Level 14 after which will allow the players their first break of Day 2.
