The first of three starting sessions for this $400 Monster Stack Event is in the books, and the player currently in the pole position is none other than Fausto Valdez (pictured above), who won the first Remington a few months ago at the LAPC, earning over $60,000 there.

Well he has another massive stack brewing with 1,780,000, and looks poised to make another deep run here at the Commerce Casino. Other notables moving on from this session include Alex Anton, Marc Robinson, and Eddie Liu.
