Boston is Back at the 2019 WSOP

GeoffFisk

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Alan Boston was regarded as one of the best stud players in the world in the late 2000s, but he hasn't been seen at the WSOP in a decade. His last WSOP cash came in 2009, and much of his $312,065 in career earnings has come in stud, mixed games and other poker variants outside of no-limit hold'em.

Boston recently told PokerNews that he's offended by the current era of the WSOP, which is why he hasn't been seen in the halls of the Rio in the past 10 years.

He came back this year to visit friends in Las Vegas, and decided to play some stud tournaments along the way. He sits at 230,000 chips at the moment, still very much in contention for his first WSOP bracelet.
