Chad Holloway

Level 25 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We missed the hand play out, but learned after the fact that Al "BigAl16" Riccobono, who is playing from New Jersey, managed to triple holding against two players who each held . The ladies held and just like that Riccobono is flirting with a top-ten stack.

Riccoboni a longtime grinder with results dating back to 2006. His biggest score of $45,422 came back in 2007 when he finished 267th in the WSOP Main Event.
