Seat 5: Sandeep Pallampati, Secaucus, NJ, USA – 4,300,000
Sandeep Pallampati comes from New Jersey but plans to move to Las Vegas. Making a final table in the NAPT Main Event may speed up the relocation process. “This will help,” he says.
While Pallampati is not a professional poker player, he spends a lot of time grinding mid-stakes tournaments and live cash games. As a data scientist, he has a fitting background to be able to excel in the game. Saturday will be the biggest day for him at a poker table. “I’m planning to keep laddering one place at a time, but if there is a spot, I’m taking it,” he says.
This might not be the only time we’ll see him on the NAPT circuit. Pallampati likes to travel and naturally prefers to combine his trips with poker action. He enjoys riding a Harley and certainly enjoys riding the wave of success as well.
