We will be watching him for more action in the future.
Keep an eye out for VPIHokie1970, who has been very hot of late, having cashed 11 times since December 2013. He already has won more than $10,000 playing these higher buy-in events. We chatted with him at the tables and hope to interview him soon. He has taken down three events outright. He also has two second and third place finishes, proving he is a very consistent player.
