Julie Billiteri is currently wielding one of the biggest stacks in the room. Billiteri is looking to score just her second live-recorded tournament cash at this year's series having just one cash on her resume.
Her one cash though, is an impressive one as she placed eighth at the 2016 Summer Slam Main Event for $6,807 in this very room.
