Al Riccobono, Joseph “Bo” Cappello, and Parker Drew

Remember, the WSOP online bracelet events are open to players in both Nevada and New Jersey. The "Garden State" option has appealed to a lot of East Coast grinders who traveled to the state in order to play. Case in point Bo "proudpatriot" Cappello, Al "bigal16" Riccobono, and Parker "PoutyPrinced" Drew, who are all in a New Jersey hotel room grinding today's tournament.

One of them got off to a great start and is the early chip leader. Cappello doubled in the very first hand with aces against jacks, and not long after he picked up aces again against an opponent who held kings.

In the live real, Cappello has more than $2.5 million in lifetime earnings, which includes a career-best $292,500 for winning the 2016 WSOP Circuit Baltimore Main Event. He also has Borgata and Wynn victories for nearly $300K apiece.

As for Riccobono, he’s a longtime grinder with results dating back to 2006. His biggest score of $45,422 came back in 2007 when he finished 267th in the WSOP Main Event.

Finally, Drew has $126K in live tournament earnings. His best score to date was $51,443 for finishing second in the 2017 Foxwoods World Poker Finals Event #1: $600 NLH. In 2013, he also won a WSOPC ring when he took down a $365 Turbo event at the Foxwoods stop.

Darren "avocadotoast" Rabinowitz Looking to Follow Up on March WSOP.com Ring Victory

Level 2 : 30/60, 0 ante

When it comes to Las Vegas grinders, Darren Rabinowitz is up there with the best of them. He’s a familiar face at tournament series around town, but this month he’s on the virtual grind looking to capture his first WSOP gold bracelet.

To date, Rabinowitz, who plays under the screenname “avocadotoast,” has more than $2.2 million in lifetime earnings, including a career-best $393,676 for finishing fourth in the 2014 Aussie Millions.

When it comes to the WSOP, he has amassed 85 WSOP-related cashes for $858,413 in earnings. That includes three WSOP Circuit gold ring victories. The first came in 2013 when he took down the WSOPC Horseshoe Cincinnati Event #5: $580 NLH Six-Handed for $19,664, and then a year later he won his second in the WSOPC Caesars Las Vegas Event #6: $365 NLH Six-Handed for $27,216.

His third came more recently back in March, which is when he was victorious in the WSOP.com Online Circuit Event #8: $1,000 NLH High Roller 6-Max. Clearly, he knows what it takes to succeed online.

Rabinowitz is in action today and was kind enough to send us a picture of him at his grind station. You can follow him on Twitter @DarrenRabbi.
