Low-stakes grinder Zal Irani, who recently added a 2nd place finish for $104,275 in the 2013 Chicago Poker Classic's $350 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) tournament to his growing list of poker accomplishments, stopped by the PokerNews Live Reporting station for a time honored tradition here at the WSOP: Informing that special someone back home just how good Vegas is treating him.
Irani has built his stack to 82,000, good for one of the highest counts in the room thus far, and he wanted to be sure that his girlfriend Nikki knew about it. From Chicago, Irani has worked his way up the poker ladder, playing smaller buy-in events while building his bankroll, and it appears the practice has paid off as he works his way towards the money.
