Arguably the most accomplished player in today’s 2019 Ante Up Poker Tour Tampa Bay Downs Main Event is Anthony Astarita, a Florida pro with more than $230K in lifetime earnings. Right now he's sitting with the chip lead as the only player over six figures.

More than half of his career earnings – $131,041 to be exact – came in June 2016 when Astarita topped a 538-entry field to win the WPTDeepStacks Tampa. It was a breakout performance for the man originally from New Jersey.

While he has dozens of cashes on HendonMob, his only other one over four figures came in 2016 when he finished fourth in the Fall DeepStack Poker Series Tampa Event #5: $570 NLH Deepstack for $18,090.

Astarita is in action now looking to add another trophy to his list of accomplishments.
