| Antonio Payne (Hazlet, NJ) |
Antonio Payne (Hazlet, NJ) has been a staple on the east coast tournament circuit, and seemingly never misses Big Stax events. A Team Pro for Blue Shark Optics, Antonio would without a doubt be considered one of the good guys by his peers. The numerous tournaments and hours played really showed last week when Payne won his first WSOP-Circuit Ring at Harrahs Chester ($580 NL Hold'em).
One thing that's pretty clear about tournament poker is that players seem to hit moments where they are playing their best, and running good as well. Antonio final tabled the $1,675 Main Event only days later, finishing in sixth place and taking home just over $22,000. He navigated a tough field in that event, coming back to a final table consisting of Joe Keuther, Kevin Saul, Justin Liberto, Tim West, and eventual winner Kyle Bowker.
Payne received much congrats from the community, and made sure to show his appreciation via Twitter:
Before I sit down at 2pm just wanted to say. Wow! Thx so so so much for the support. It's amazing it really is. #ItsTime...Again"
