November Niner Joshua Beckley Leads Final 17 in Monster Stack
2015 November Niner, Joshua Beckley
Following 21 levels of Day 1 play, yesterday's series-opening $365 Monster Stack is down 17 and there's a familiar face atop the leaderboard -- that of Joshua Beckley. Beckley, who hails from New Jersey, leads the way claiming 970,000 chips. He's currently seventh in chips in the WSOP Main Event where he's a member of poker's November Nine. If Beckley is able to hang on to his lead, he'll nab a warm-up piece of WSOP hardware prior to November's big show in Las Vegas.
Back to the Monster Stack, hot on the headliner's trail is Sean Syed Shah who holds 905,000. The next closest stack belongs to ring winner Cody Pack who parlayed his 20,000 starting chips into 555,000.
