2016 Showdown John Depersio
John Depersio (Parkland, FL)

It didn’t take long for the first flight of Event 1 to jump over 100 entrants. They hit that mark five minutes into the first level, in traditionally the slowest of the six starting flights, and 125 at the mid-point. A great indicator of how big Event 1 will grow before registration is closed late on Saturday evening.

John Depersio is one of our early adopters today, taking his seat in Event 1 while still in its morning hours. He’s looking to pick up his first tournament cash of the year after finishing off 2015 with a nice run. Depersio had a few very nice days at the end of September. He picked up his first WSOP Circuit ring on the 24th and followed that up with a third place finish in the opening tournament of the 2015 Coco Poker Open. A $50,000 weekend for the South Florida grinder.
