Championship: Free Rolling?

$2500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry) 

Reina Representing Friends

Borgata online contest winner Tom Belasic (Cedar Grove, NJ) isn't the only person free-rolling in this event.  Of course it depends on your definition of free-rolling.

DJ Whorley (Washington, D.C.) just earned $2,823 for his 8th place finish in Event 14 and then jumped into Day 1A of the Championship event.  The price tag for that is $2,700 so he's covered there, but it doesn't account for the cost of his $560 entry into Event 14.

So Whorley is kind of free-rolling.

Then there's Frank Reina (Carteret, NJ) whose friends Steve and Giovanni financed his entry, but don't know a thing about poker.  "Their great guys," says Reina, "but there's a lot of pressure. All they know is that Aces are good."

We'll put Reina in the free-rolling category, but with strings attached.

Level 6 (150/300/50 ante) continues.
