Renowned TV and Film actor Kirk Acevedo suddenly finds himself among the chip leaders here at the 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $200 No-Limit Hold'em Event #1.
Having earned acting credits in films like Boiler Room, Invincible and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Acevedo has also appeared in a number of top TV shows including The Walking Dead, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Fringe.
He also happens to be a veteran poker player with $99,570 in career tournament earnings and a solid resume with cashes all the way back to 2006.
Today he fired a bullet in the first flight to no avail, but the evening flight has been much more kind to the New York native.
"All thanks to the ATM on my right," Acevedo told PokerNews.
Apparently the player on Acevedo's right busted two players, then proceeded to dump all his chips to him over a series of four hands. This included one where Acevedo flopped the joint and his opponent called down all the way to the river with bottom pair and a gut shot.
