Big Stax 1500 (Day 1A): Claiming The Trophy

Level 2 (Blinds 75/150)
Total Entries: 52

Maggie Morris

There has been a trophy sitting in the glass case that sits towards the front of the main poker room.  Etched on the bottom is the name Maggie Morris, winner of the Big Stax 300 during February's Big Stax V series.  The unassuming Morris sat quietly over three days, accumulating chips throughout, and raising eyebrows of her peers.

Morris would take home $95,000 in a deal made with Joel Gola and Rocco Luciano, and be declared the winner of the event.  Maggie would follow that up with a deep run in Event 1 of the Borgata Spring Poker Open, and at the WSOPC Main Event at Harrah's Chester.

Maggie does not play poker professionally, as her work schedule does not allow it, but she's surely made a name on the east coast tournament circuit.
