Level 12:  800/1,600/100 Ante

Fighting his way through tonight’s WPT Deepstacks field is none other another past Seminole Hard Rock Champion, “Miami Boss” Dan Suied.

Among his many accomplishments in poker, Suied won Event #1 in last year’s Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open for $110,349 and continues to be one of the more popular players on the poker circuit.  The Hallandale, FL native may not be too popular in these parts tonight sporting a New England Patriots Super Bowl jersey but he does what he wants – he’s the Boss.

Suied is among the 47 players still alive in tonight’s Day 1A in Event 12.
