Big Stax 300 (Day 1C): Beckley Back In Action

Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Day 1C Entries: 149

Joshua Beckley (Marlton, NJ)

The last time Joshua Beckley (Marlton, NJ) walked out of this poker room, he was doing so $98,348 richer.  The process reaching an agreement may of taken a little while, but eventually Beckley and Mike Linster made a deal to chop the Big Stax 1500 during the last series in August.

Even though that may of been Beckley's first career recorded cash, he showed at the final table that he was definitely not a novice.  He bested a stacked final table that hosted the likes of Ketan Pandya, Cathy Dever, Drew Small, Jesse Cohen, Chris Csik, Joe Reddick, and Ken Silberstein.  Joshua has since cashed in one event during the recent Borgata Poker Open, but surely is looking to recapture the magic at the site of where it all began.

Beckley is sitting at Table 80, which opened just moments ago, and is playing short handed while waiting for players.  One of his adversaries at the moment is Jason Rivkin (Toms River, NJ), the winner of the first ever Big Stax tournament run.
