Event 5: Also Up Late

$350 + $50 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Munoz, Railbird Turned Grinder

Chris Munoz (Galloway, NJ) was up until 5:30 am as a supportive railbird for his dad Dr. Raul Munoz who finished 2nd in Event 4.

"He's home sleeping," says Chris who caught a few Zs before making the short trip back to Borgata.

Chris says he wasn't able to play yesterday and actually had to hitch a ride to watch Raul because, "he took the car."

Dad earned $26,284 for his second place finish and is now resting after 18 hours of poker.

Chris is hoping to make a deep run and gives his dad a reason to return the favor as a final table supporter.  Of course, with two starting days, there's no reason Raul can't play Monday's Day 1B and play his way there for Tuesday's Day 2.

A father-son final table would make a great story the week leading up to Father's Day.
