Level 10
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Last year's 2018 WinStar Labor Day Poker Series $2,500 Main Event champ William Pengelly was recently spotted building a stack of six figures up, hoping to replicate his success from last year.
In last year's event, Pengelly topped a field of 807 entries and earned a $249,310 payday after a five-way chop, and the now twenty-one year old already has a cash in this year's series, finishing in 30th in Event #1: $500 No Limit Hold'em for $1,801. Can he make it back-to-back and go the distance here again in this year's $1,500 Main Event? We'll be keeping an eye out for him as we cross the halfway point in today's Day 1b.
