Sean Shah (Delray Beach, FL)

Making his first appearance in Event 1 moments ago was Sean Shah (Delray Beach, FL), a Florida-based tournament professional coming off of two six-figure earnings years.  After four years on the tournament scene (2011-2014), Sean's best year of tournament poker saw him earning $50,442.  He then experienced his breakout in 2015, earning $278,758, and followed that up with $198,365 in 2015.

Both years were propelled by two career highlighting scores, final tabling the WPT SHRPO Championship Event in 2015 (7th Place - $117,531), and finishing runner-up in the $565 PLO (Event #12) at the 2016 WSOP ($168,550).  Sean has already started 2017 off strong, taking down a $350 No Limit Hold'em event during the Coco Poker Showdown, and earning himself $11,355.  Sean headlines the second wave of notables in what's shaping up to be a massive flight:
