Big Stax 500 (Day 1C): All The Cool Kids In The Corner

Level 4 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Combined Entries: 686

Brian O'Donoghue (Bayside, NY)

As the room fills up, the outer tables against the back wall begin to open, with a handful of big names seated in the back corner of the room.  This is the first time Brian O'Donoghue has been spotted this series, currently seated at Table 70.  Brian has over $887,000 in career tournament earnings, including a runner-up finish in last year's WSOP (2nd Place - Event #49 $1,500 No Limit Hold'em).  While that would be his largest lifetime score ($338,000), O'Donoghue is also well known for his back to back wins during the 2012 Borgata Fall Poker Open.  Brian would earn two $50,000 scores just days apart, winning the second of the two on basically no sleep.  Also seated at Table 70 is Brian's good friend Jamie Kerstetter, the lady lady left standing during the Big Stax 300.
