Bill Purle: WSOP Savant

[user38971]

Bill Purle, who's currently sitting very comfortably with 107,000 in chips, has had an interesting few weeks. Prior to the Main Event, Bill managed to satellite in via PokerStars. He's here today because of that, and he didn't spend a dime. Bill qualified through the PokerStars steps program, which covered all his expenses to get here as well as his entry fee to play today.

Interestingly enough, this is Bill's fourth World Series of Poker, in which all previous attempts he's been unsuccessful. Though today may only be Day 1, Bill has positioned himself in great shape to make it to Day 2, and he hopes to go deep.
