Level 4 (Blinds 100/200)

Total Flight 1C Entries: 85

Daren Stabinski (Miami, FL)

There's the "model of consistency," and then there is Daren Stabinski (Miami, FL).  Since 2011, Daren's tournament resume has been consistent in terms of volume, but even more impressive has been the fact that his total earnings have increased each and every year.  From $9,076 in 2011, to $153,463 last year, Stabinsky has put together a resume with career earnings over $553,000.  While he has (8) titles to his name, none of those cashes were more than his third place finish during last years Isle Poker Open $1,200 Main Event ($65,000).  Daren's first bullet (Flight 1A) didn't pan out like he may have wanted, but he's in the field again this afternoon, looking to bag up chips for Sunday's Day 2.  Stabinski joins our second wave of notables in the field, including the likes of:
