Carlo Arevalo's Story

Toogood32

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Carlo Arevalo is among the tables today. Currently he is nursing a below average stack but is looking to grind up a stack and get his first World Series bracelet.

The incredibly friendly Arevalo was willing to share some of his background to PokerNews during the dinner break. He joined the U.S Marine Corp from '03 - '07 at just 19 years old. He was deployed in Iraq during '04 - '05 and served in several major conflicts.

He's a retired project manager and consultant now but his time in the armed forces has taken him across the world to Thailand, Japan and Korea also.

He, like many, would play poker with fellow service men and women and trade commodities while playing cards to pass time and have some fun. He used to swap American cigarettes, disposable camera and beers with British servicemen. Now some almost 20 years later since he joined the Marines, he enjoys playing poker for fun.

River Magic For Friedman

Toogood32

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Perry Friedman was all in preflop against one opponent for their 80,000 stack. Friedman still had to call off a significant percentage of his stack and it was a cooler when cards were flipped.

Opponent:
Perry Friedman:

The board ran out to give Friedman top boat against his opponent, who took his exit with grace.

''That's the second time I've cracked aces in this tournament'' said Friedman, as he munched on a snack.
