Before there was an Isle Poker Blog, this member of the media was working up north at the top poker room in the Northeast (Parx, Borgata, Maryland Live). So while the next two notables may not look familiar to the Florida community, they're players that need no introduction up North.

Kevin Grabel (Southhampton, PA) has "bossed" the Parx Big Stax series to the point where you could just pen him in each of the "majors' final table. The popular series in Pennsylvania boasts three massive events per series, usually with a $300 buy-in, $500 buy-in, and $1,000-$1,500 buy-in. Grabel's first cash in the series was during Big Stax XI in April of 2015, a point where he had $4,000 total tournament earnings. Fast forward to this moment, and (10) Big Stax series later, Grabels tournament resume boasts total earnings of $640,000. Kevin has (5) outright tournament wins this year already, and is a name to look out for as the day progresses. |

Greg Fishberg (Willow Grove, PA) is another player who calls Parx Poker Room home (Bensalem, PA), and his fondness for the room just got a little stronger. Fishberg is coming off a Big Stax XVI series where he cashed the $300 event, took second place in the $500 event ($56,689), and final tabled the six-max secondary event. Fishberg has over $926,000 in career tournament earnings, and is looking to book his first Florida cash in this event. |
