Argentina's Juan Martin Pastor is mostly known for his exploits in online cash games, but he's making some serious noise here at the PCA Main Event. Pastor, who recently reached Supernova Elite status at PokerStars under the name "pastorcito", currently sits second in chips after increasing his stack by more than 100,000 during the first level of Day 3.

We chatted with Pastor briefly during the break.

PokerNews: You began the day third in chips and you're currently right up there with the chip leader. How did that first level go for you?

Pastor: It was really good. I now have like 560K so it was good.

I saw you Tweet before the day started that you had Olivier Busquet at your table today. Is he someone you play with online or someone you look up to?

No, he's just a high roller guy so I know him but I've never played against him.

You've got some other tough players at your table (John Hennigan, Tyler Cornell). How have they been treating you as the big stack?

They're respecting me so far me so things have gone very well.

I know you play a lot online — you recently earned Supernova Elite status on PokerStars. What's it like coming here and playing live poker and doing well?

It's really nice. This is my third PCA Main Event but it's the first time I made Day 3. It's going really well so I hope it continues.

Do you usually play cash games online?

Yeah, cash games.

So how do you make that transition from cash games to live tournaments?

I play both of them online but my specialty is cash games. I do play a lot of tournaments though and really been working on improving.
