Daniel Muniz Trusting his Gut
Daniel Muniz, fresh off his third-place finish in the $600 Deepstack Event, is set to compete throughout the entire series. While he’s found success at several venues around Las Vegas, Muniz has his sights set on two of the most anticipated tournaments, the Millionaire Maker and the Main Event.
Unlike many players who spend hours studying away from the table, Muniz credits his background as a retail manager for sharpening his people-reading skills, along with a natural aptitude for math. This year, he has focused on playing with greater discipline and patience — an approach that has been paying dividends so far. Muniz stated, "I play with my gut".
This tournament holds a personal significance for Muniz, as it reminds him of his late ex-father-in-law, Vince Lipvosky, who served as a fighter pilot in both World War II and the Korean War. Lipovosky was a role model for Muniz’s children, who continue to love and miss him dearly.
