Paul Balzano

The World Series of Poker’s first visit to Hollywood, Florida is expected to attract a number of new faces to the Seminole Hard Rock, but the big fields will also bring out the area regulars. One of those regulars, Paul Balzano, is in the game early here on Flight A of the $580 opener.

Balzano has enjoyed a number of titles in his home state, but is in search of his first WSOP win. The brand owns one of the most prestigious trophies in the game — a gold bracelet — and awards gold rings during their year-long Circuit tour. Balzano, who finished fourth in the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year race, has sights on one of those rings and will surely be around throughout the next 12 days.
