Mark Chapic is a 36 year old custom home-builder from tiny Newberry Township, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. The sole amateur to make the Reno Season 3 final table, Chapic earned his way there, having arrived via a $500 satellite, then carving his way through the grueling days of qualifying. As opposed to some players who find their desire to pursue poker riches met with less than favorable family support, Mark credits his dad with helping him discover his talent for the game. Dad suggested a trip west when business slowed down in the late 90's. After stumbling into Binion's Horseshoe casino on that trip, Mark was hooked.
