Here's how that stacks up against the first flight:
Through all six starting flights, the field closed at 411 entries.
Anthony F Cicali III (AKA "EataHoagie") is one of the players returning to action here on Day 2. He begins with a stack of 140,750 and will be live streaming the action on his Twitch channel, which you can watch by clicking here
When he’s not working at his full-time job, the single father of two young boys pursues his passion for poker, which includes streaming the action on Twitch.
“I think one of my best qualities is I’ve always been able to talk to anyone,” he said in a PlayUSA interview. “I’m able to connect with people and talk to them in chat. I’m really good at getting a conversation going.”
According to his Twitter account @EataHoagie, his bio reads “My Mom says I’m a Catch. #1 US Legal Twitch Casino Slot Streamer! Dad, XXX, Poker, @uspoker Reporter, Sports Betting Host @thelinesUS , Safetyman podcast cohost.”
“XXX relates to a theme of straight-edge philosophy,” he said in the same interview. “I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs. I live a very disciplined lifestyle. I’m very focused on my things and goals in life.”
He continued: “Some people think that online gambling is just throwing your money away. If you’re very disciplined with your actions, and you play within your limits, you can have a lot of fun and even make some money.”
Today, the PartyPoker US Network Online Mini-Series in New Jersey — which is running on Borgata Poker, Party Poker NJ, and BetMGM Poker — will see the culmination of the $20 buy-in Event #1: Phased $10K GTD.
