Max Pescatori has been on a wild ride. His stack has been fluctuating more than the U.S. stock market. The Italian Pirate showed up late and took a hit early before he rushed past the 25,000 mark after he busted a player. Then the bleeding began. He took several hits and bottomed out at 5,000. The Italian Pirate looked as though he was going to walk the plank. However, he made a surge late in the afternoon when he doubled up to over 10,000. He ground his way to 14,000 and now he's sitting on a stack worth 23,000.
