Michael Graffeo (Boca Raton, FL)

With this being the largest of the starting flights to this point, it's no surprise that some larger stacks are beginning to pop up across the field.  One of those stacks belongs to Michael Graffeo (Boca Raton, FL), winner of this year's WPT DeepStacks $1,100 Main Event during the Lucky Hearts Poker Open ($290,687).  While significant, that result makes up less than half of his career earnings, which currently stands at $609,637.  Michael has just over 115,000 in front of him, and joins a group at the top of the leaderboard, that also includes:

Michael Brand - 135,000

Gary Fitzgerald - 130,000

Manny Perez - 125,000
