The return of PokerStars live events in the United States has brought about massive fields and excitement to Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia's Summer Series.
One of many players who competed in the first event of the series, Elias Garney from White Haven, Pennsylvania, a town about 100 miles away, qualified for the $550 buy-in tournament on PokerStars PA via a $50 satellite.
Garney, 35, might not be a household name, but he's become an accomplished poker player both live and online.
