Reece Lightner (Miami, FL)

It hasn't even been a week since Reece Lightner (Miami, FL) was getting up from his seat at the Event 1 final table, and heading to the tournament podium to get paid.  The sixth place finish and over $5,000 earned is really nothing to be disappointed about, but in most tournaments (as in sport), there is usually just one person truly satisfied with their finish in the end.  

Lighter spent years experiencing the wonderful aspect of variance when it came to tournament poker, and mentioned that he was "focusing more on cash games," here in Florida.  The deep Event 1 run must a lit a spark under him though, as he's back in the tournament area, looking to better his final table finish (in the same week).  Reece was just one of numerous notables spotted across the tournament field:
