Event 1: A Closer Look at the Multi-Stack Bonus

$130 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Joseph Patalano (Wellington, Fla.)
Through four starting flights, Joseph Patalano of Wellington, Fla. is the only player to earn the multi-stack bonus payout.

Event 1 of the Coco Poker Showdown offers a bonus payout for each Day 2 a player advances to after their first. Participants are permitted to play any and all starting flights and those who advance to Day 2 more than once forfeit their smallest stack(s) in exchange for a payday equal to the value of the tournament’s min-cash. These payouts will be processed on Day 2 after the prize pool is finalized.

Through four starting flights, Joseph Patalano of Wellington, Fla. is the only player to earn the multi-stack bonus. He squeaked his 2,000-chip stack into the money during Flight A, then bagged 67,500 in last night’s Flight D.
