From Zero to Hero

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

In typical tournament poker fashion, East Amherst's Peter Owczarczak has suddenly vaulted to a spot near the top of the chip counts after a day lost in anonymity.

First he tripled up his paltry 25,000-chip stack when he picked up aces. A few hands later it was queens that helped him drag some more loot.

For the the past level he simply hasn't lost a hand and he's certainly played his fair share on the way to building a contending stack here at the final three tables.
