Described as the Bad Boys of Poker, the New York Rounders and it’s manager Bryn Kenney, must be delighted to be the early leaders in the Americas Conference after the first week of 6-max sit-and-go and heads-up matches.

Right from the start of Global Poker League Americas Conference play, Jason Wheeler came out blasting with a strong performance earning a win and a third place for 10 points in the 6-max games on Tuesday. Tom “Big Cheese” Marchese added 6 points yesterday with some great heads-up play vs. Anthony Zinno of the Las Vegas Moneymakers. The 4-minute tank bluff shove is a hand that will be remembered for the rest of the season.
