Filippi in the House

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Late registration closed recently, but not before Amnon Filippi joined the fun. Filippi is a New York native with over $3 million in career live tournament earnings, including a fourth-place finish in the 2006 WPT Borgata Winter Open for $184,785.

Filippi's largest cash came in 2007 when he reached the final table of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Event at the World Series of Poker, ultimately finishing fourth for $586,080. He finished runner-up another WPT in 2009, pocketing $409,405, and won the Bellagio Challenge Cup in 2005 for $364,200.

Filippi is short on chips with roughly 18,000, but with three more starting flights after Day 1a, he will have several opportunities to build up a big stack if he fails to survive today.
