William Lahti is the Main Event Day 1b Chip Leader
William Lahti drove 150 miles from the Austin, Texas area to be in Houston for the Lone Star Poker Series. A few days of lackluster results came and went before Lahti made waves on Day 1b by finishing as the end-of-day chip leader.
Lahti is a frequent guest on the Texas Card House : Austin cash stream. Check out video of one of his recent visits below (skip ahead to 2:48:00 for a bomb pot where William has aces).
