Carlos Bermudez

The $600 Six-Max tournament is off to a great start with 83 entries nearly hitting the $50,000 guarantee in the first hour of play. That number is a lock and we are looking at another great turnout.

Carlos Bermudez, Jacob Naumann, Mansoor Kader, Matthew Waxman, and Caleb Piderit are among the early entries pushing up the count.

Bermudez already owns a trophy from the series. He had his kings cracked during the Event 1 restart on Sunday, entered the $400 Deep Stack Turbo, and took the title.
