Defending Champ in the Building

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Last year, Matthew Sande bested a field of 172 entries to win the 2013 WNY Poker Challenge Main Event. Sande, from nearby Rochester, NY, defeated Ray Smalls to capture the $44,582 top prize — the biggest live score of his career.

Sande just took his seat at Table 1 with notables Johannes Mueller and Art Demmerley. Also joining us in the past few minutes was Cam Bartolotta, who finished third in yesterday's Event #12: $200 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack Turbo.
