He’s not in action anymore, but you can definitely tell when former NBA champion Earl Barron is in the room.

The 7-footer has been playing events all week and causing heads to turn when the big man walks among us shorter-stature people. Barron made his name with the NBA 2006 title winning Miami Heat and has earned more than $80,000 since he began playing poker tournaments including a deep run in the 2013 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship.

Flight 1E continues to climb and has reached 288 players at the start of Level 3.
