2010 NAPT Venetian Main Event | 2010 NAPT Venetian

Dan Clemente first started playing poker while he was in the Marine Corps, stationed in southern California. After leaving the Marines, he started working in the restaurant business as a general manager but turned to poker full time around eight years ago. He plays a little bit online but prefers the live game – both cash and tournaments. His biggest result before the NAPT Venetian final was winning $64,000 at a tournament in Biloxi last year. He bought in to this event after cashing in a tournament in LA last week. “I’m excited about being in the final”, he said. "I’m one of the shorter stacks though so I’m going to have to double up fairly early to have a chance of winning.”
