Matt Millisor May Have Found a New Game

Nível 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Matt Millisor thought he was playing a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event today. After registering and taking his seat, Millisor was told by tablemates just before play began that it was actually a Limit Hold'em event. Even though he is not really a limit player, he decided to play anyway.

It might just work out for him as he is now vying for the chip lead, neck and neck with Joshua Turner, who has been at the top of the counts for most of the day.
