Table 2 currently hosts two of the top ten stacks in the room, as Joshua Lowing (Pensacola, FL) and John Depersio (Parkland, FL) sit in seats eight and nine.  Both players are over 100,000, and both players are the owners of solid tournament resumes.

Depersio carries career earnings over $267,000, highlighted by a WSOPC ring won last year at the Palm Beach Kennel Club ($1,125 No Limit Hold'em - $30,000).  Most recently, John finished just short of the final table during the Florida State Poker Championship $1,500 Main Event (13th place - $5,528).

Lowing is a well traveled tournament pro, with earnings just under $200,000.  His career highlighting score came last November, when he won the Hollywood Poker Open $1,115 NLH Main Event for $33,907 (that's the Hollywood in Lawrence, IN).  Interesting to note that Lowing is ranked 20th in 2016 cashes, with an incredible (30) tournament scores this year alone!
