Nicholas Banyas Currently Leading the Main Event
Late registration remains open for another three levels in the Maryland State Poker Championship Main Event so needless to say the tournament is still in its early stages, but right now the man to catch is Nicholas Banyas.
At the time of writing, Banyas was sitting on a stack of 208,000, comfortably ahead of his nearest competitor on 189,000. Banyas plays a good portion of his tournament poker here in Maryland, with his last eighteen recorded cashes all coming at Maryland Live! Casino. That includes the largest cash of his career, a $20,325 score for finishing 6th in the $2,200 Main Event at the 2024 Hannover Poker Classic.
Now, in an identically priced tournament in the same venue, Banyas will be looking to add a win to his resume. It would be a victory that would certainly eclipse his previous biggest cash.
