Nikolla Sinishtaj (Flushing, NY)

Just about a month ago, Nikolla Sinishtaj (Flushing, NY) was on the rail at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, watching his brother at the final table of the $3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown.  His brother Tony played exceptionally well throughout the tournament, an continued that play at the final table, which he would eventually win.  Tony Sinishtaj became a WPT Champion, earning $661,283, and giving his brother even more to strive for.  Nikolla has a lot of work to do in order to catch up to the $1,200,000 career earnings of his brother, but he's done well for himself, winning almost $30,000 in the last (10) months.  Nikolla's career highlighting score came here at the Isle Poker Room last year, when he was part of a six-way deal that finished the $140 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" event ($200,000 GTD).  He would take home fourth place money, which was good for $15,331.
