The Boys & Girls From Belize

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

If you have been around the Rio the last few days, you may have seen a group of players wearing a Belize T-shirt with “Princess Poker Room” on the back.

These are all players from Belize, on the eastern coast of Central America, who are mentored by Badih "Bob" Bounahra who runs a poker room there. Bob Bounhara was a November Niner back in 2011, finishing seventh for $1,314,097 and he is giving back to his country’s poker community by bringing over a groups of players each year including a freeroll into the Monster Stack.

There are 10 players in the field today and, yesterday, six of them bagged up chips in Day 1a. Can one of them go further that their mentor and grab a bracelet? That’s the dream.
