Niveau 16
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Blake Stewart's First Ever Tournament
Niveau 16
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Earlier we mentioned that Blake Stewart was celebrating his 21st birthday. He is still in Day 1c of the Giant with 41,000.
His mother, Susie, said that he would always ask if when he turned 21 if she would put him in a World Series of Poker event. She figured they would be too expensive, but when the schedule came out and she saw the $365 Giant flight on the day of Blake's birthday, she decided it was a no brainer.
Blake's tournament experience might be a little light, but it wouldn't be a big surprise to see him in other flights of the Giant should he fail to bag here in 1c.
