Vinny Aloi (Delray Beach, FL)

If you've played poker at the Isle Poker Room, than you've likely seen or heard Vinny Aloi (Delray Beach, FL).  Vinny helps organize some of the biggest games that are played in the room, including 5/10 and 10/25 NL.  Aloi has a couple of recorded tournament cashes, but primarily calls the cash game felt home.

Aloi is only one of (19) players to enter the tournament on Day 2, with a list of those names to follow.  We can update you on one of those players...Vinny Aloi has busted.  The spin actually tried to get started, as he quickly blinded down, before scooping up a nice pot to get back to starting stack.  Unfortunately for Vinny, the spin stopped there, and he was eliminated just a few hands later.

The "spin up" a real thing though, as one double up will give a Day 2 entry player over 20 big blinds to play with.
