| Michael Amato (Boca Raton, FL) |
Featured earlier was Daniel Pearlman, who was noted as having the best statical year of poker (in terms of earnings) in his career. One of the most recent entries into the flight is also in the midst of his breakout year, when it comes to tournament poker. Michael Amato (Boca Raton, FL) came into the year with just over $134,000 in lifetime tournament earnings, with his first every recorded cash coming in 2012. Only seven months into the year, Amato has tripled those numbers, entering today with over $401,000 in earnings.
Michael's first big score came in February, when he shipped Event #8 ($360 No Limit Hold'em) of the Battles At The Beach ($70,766). He then followed that up with a WSOP final table finish in Event #63 ($1,000 No Limit Hold'em), where he finished in third place, and earned his largest career cash ($116,940). Michael shares the table with 2015 Isle Poker Open Main Event winner Edward Novak, as well as Dominique Mosley, Joseph Duchman, Joshua Hillock, and Francis Margaglione.
