Joe Kosko (Southington, CT)

While much of the Northeast and New England areas are preparing for another big snow storm, perhaps going to the store and buying up all the "necessities" to get themselves through the upcoming storm, Joe Kosko (Southington, CT) is buying something else in bulk in preparation for Event 7's Day 2, currently sitting with the biggest stack in the room as he's near the 250,000 mark.

Kosko had quietly been building his stack in the back of the tournament area, using some aggressive pre-flop play to take complete control of his table, bossing the action with ease.

As is the case with someone who is constantly getting into pots and forcing the pre-flop action, when Kosko finally had "it" he got paid off in full, as a smaller stacked player moved all-in and Kosko snap called tabling [Ks][Kh], having the other player dominated with [Qh][Qd].

The board would run out clean for Kosko, who's "loose aggressive" image certainly got him maximum action and a maximum payoff in that hand.

Kosko's tournament resume has been quiet as of late, but it was anything but a few years ago, as he won back-to-back Foxwoods Poker titles in 2012, winning a Mega Stack Challenge XXIV Super Bounty event and then a Memorial Day Holiday tournament, with those two scores totaling just over $12,000, good for half of his career tournament earnings.

Nearly all of Kosko's live rated results come from major Foxwoods events and while he's cashed in nearly every Foxwoods series offered, he's yet to notch a Card Player Poker Tour score, something that we fully expect to see him make here in Event 7 if he continues to bulk up his stack.

Players are about to enter Level 14, meaning there is just over an hour left in this Flight A session.
