Monster Stack Champ in the House

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Mitchell Towner is one of the recreational players who made the trek down to the PokerStars Championship Bahamas. Though he has far less experience than many of his opponents, Towner has a score that's the envy of almost any of them: this past summer, he won the $1,500 Monster Stack at the World Series of Poker for $1,120,196 against a field of nearly 7,000 runners.

Towner told PokerNews after the big win that he barely plays any poker, merely consuming about an hour of poker content a week. He didn't expect to be playing much in the near future but has evidently found time to continue his amateur poker career, and we'll keep track of his progress here on Day 1a of the Main Event.
