Seat 9 - John Carr, 470,000 (4 Big Blinds)
Hailing from Centerpoint, New York, John Carr works in Media/Engineering and has a list of interesting hobbies away from the poker tables.
In his spare time, he collects vintage pinball machines, Beatles memorabilia and classic rock studio outtakes and with $100,000 for first, his collection could grow significantly.
Carr plays his poker in the Long Island branch of the No Limit Pub Poker Tour and through that league won his seat into Day 1a. After an unsuccessful Day 1a, Carr fired into Day 1b and managed to bag for Day 2.
An interesting Day 2 in which Carr navigated a sub-10 big blind stack for the last few levels before reaching the final table.
With a crowd railing from home, Carr is hoping that today will be the real underdog story.
