Who's Who?
The first level of play was fairly slow, as it tends to be in any tournaments, and it gave us the opportunity to walk about the room and see who was in today's field. In addition to Andre Akkari, Team PokerStars Pro (Argentina) Leo Fernandez is here.
Joining them are Jesus and Tulio Bertoli, brothers who are seated just a few tables apart. Unlike the Day 1a brothers we tracked, Luis and Carlos Perez, the Bertoli Brothers are not twins; nonetheless, they're no doubt looking for some family success by doing what the Perez Brothers couldn't . . . both survive to Day 2 (Luis Perez busted on Day 1a while Carlos finished with a healthy 61,500).
Joining the fray are New Zealander James Honeybone; LAPT Punta del Este final table bubble boy, Odead Minond; and Julio Belluscio, who made a deep run in Punta del Este (33rd place).
