Big Stax 1000 (Day 1C): Bracelet WInner In The Crowd

Level 10 - Blinds 600/1,200/200 (Total Entries: 487)

At Table 78 sits Shankar Pillai (Commack, NY), who in 2007 bested a final table containing the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Brett Richey, and Perry Friedman, to win his first WSOP bracelet ($3K NL Hold'em).  Pillai would win $527,829, which was his first recorded tournament cash, and so took off his career.  Also at his table sits Igor Rabinovich (Richboro, PA), who just this summer finished 554th in the WSOP Main Event, taking home over $20,000.
