Mount Laurel, NJ<\/strong> sits 20 miles east of Philadelphia, PA<\/strong> off of the I-295 corridor. The town is the home for NFL Films<\/strong> and counts a population a few notches north of 40,000.<\/p>\n The town grows by one when Brian Frasca<\/strong> books a hotel room near the Greyhound Bus Station. Frasca is an actuarial analyst by trade and counts poker as a serious hobby to the point where he travels the 145 miles from his home near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania<\/strong> to play on WSOP.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is inside one of these hotels where 26-year-old Frasca earned his seat to the World Series of Poker Main Event<\/strong> in a $320 online satellite under the name \u2018XcrazylegsX\u2019<\/strong>. Frasca entered Day 3 with a playable stack of 110,000 and a shot to beat his career-high live cash of\u00a0$22,896.<\/p>\n 2018 is already a solid year for Frasca, who needs to reach 351st place to top his best online score of a few months ago.<\/p>\n The WSOP.com $500 buy-in $200,001 guaranteed Coast-to-Coast Classic Main Event<\/strong> featured a runner-up finish for Frasca where he earned $34,390.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been going pretty much every Sunday for the last couple months just to grind Sunday online,\u201d Frasca said. \u201cWSOP has the $100K guarantee every Sunday and other tournaments worth registering. Any Sunday I don\u2019t have anything else going on, I go to New Jersey. It\u2019s definitely worth going there to grind. \u201d<\/p>\n Frasca\u2019s parents live near Philadelphia which allows Frasca to drive 45 minutes to their home to rest should he put in a late session. The Coast-to-Coast Classic finished near 5:30 a.m. and Frasca says he took a sick day rather than work on a few hours sleep.<\/p>\n If you were to imagine what an actuarial analyst looks like playing poker, Frasca is just that. An assuming zip-up fall jacket combined with pants built for the golf course but comfortable in a chair is his wardrobe. He speaks of the game of at a rapid pace and explains complex spots in two sentences. Frasca is not a professional poker player trade but his math skills are well-versed to apply to today\u2019s game.<\/p>\n New Players Get A Free Bonus At WSOP.com NJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
