Final Table Bios - Darryll Fish

Level 28: 30,000-60,000, 10,000 ante

 Seat 3: Darryll Fish


Darryll Fish is another one of the experienced professionals at today's final table. He played very solid poker on Monday, building his stack from one of the smallest left in the tournament up to the second largest by the time the final table was set. The 26-year-old has been playing poker for eight years and he has racked up close to $900,000 in career earnings. Fish has accumulated over $300,000 of that prize money at WPT events. He has cashed six times on the tour and made two previous WPT final tables. Each of those times he finished in sixth place, but with his skill and a large chip stack Fish will surely top that mark today in South Florida. Fish grew up in this region of the country and he currently resides in Fort Lauderdale.

Lily Kiletto raises from the button to 125,000, Darryll Fish calls from the small blind, and Hayden Fortini calls all in from the big blind for 65,000. Kiletto and Fish will continue to battle over a dry side pot.

Both players check to the turn on a board of J942, Kiletto checks, Fish bets 200,000, and Kiletto folds. Fish takes back his 200,000, and shows 44 for a set of fours. Fortini turns over J5 for a pair of jacks, and he's drawing dead.
