Event 14 (Day 1A): McLaughlin Introducing Himself To Everyone

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 9 (Blinds 400/800/100)
Total Entries: 102

Kiaran McLaughlin (Garden City, FL)

During the last break, the tournament staff raced off the green chips (25 denomination) from the stacks, which allowed for better visualization of chip stacks.  The largest stack in the field now belongs to Kiaran McLaughlin (Garden City, FL), a relatively unknown player to the blog, who has four results to his name.  His career earnings total $11,335, with his largest cash coming in 2014 during the WSOPC at Palm Beach Kennel Club ($365 No Limit Hold'em - 4th Place $4,131).  These larger buy-in events are always full of "storylines," and some of the greatest storylines in sport have involved the proverbial "underdog."  Nobody is saying that Kiarin is an underdog, but a story it would be if he could make a deep run in a prestigious event such as this.

Kiarin McLaughlin - 140,000
Matt Zarcadoolas - 105,000
Darryl Fish - 100,000
Darren Stabinski - 100,000
Rafael Reis - 90,000
TJ Shulman - 83,000
Andrew Touchette - 80,000
Francis Margaglione - 77,000
