Adel Jo (Miami, FL)

Dinner break is a solid time to be able to scan the tables and find where some of the bigger stacks are sitting, having potentially been overlooked.  There was one seat that housed what looked like a chip leading stack, and when players returned, the owner was confirmed to be Adel Jo (Miami, FL). 

The first thing that stands out when you look at Adel's tournament resume are the "non-US" flags that are listed.  As a tournament players, recorded cashes on your Hendon Mob are great...but cashing in spots all over the world are better.  Adel has one Bahamian flag (from the 2012 PCA Main Event), and another from "Peters Poker Tour" in Santo Domingo ($1,850 NLH - 34th Place $3,803).  Jo cashed three times in this years Battle Of The Beaches, and with a stack of 155,000, someone to keep an eye on as the tournament progresses.
