Dante Scattolini (N Wildwood, NJ)
Another big stack has appeared. Dante Scattolini is up to about 320,000 and surging as the field approaches the Day 1 finish line. He’s a home remodeling contractor and admits he “got a little lucky” to accumulate all those chips.
Meanwhile, across the room, Duane Wallace has continued to build his stack. In a recent hand, three players reached the river with a board of {Qd}{Js}{5c}{th}{6d}. Duane bet 10,000, which was just a small fraction of the pot. He got one call and one fold.
Duane tabled {9h}{8d} for the straight and his opponent mucked. That pot took his stack over the 400,000 chip mark.
