Large-Field Resilience: Reaching the top 10% of a 1,076-entry Main Event and finishing 4th in a massive “Kick-Off” field proves his ability to maintain strategic focus over multi-day structures.
Bounty & Bounty Management: His consistent final-table appearances in Head Hunter and Mystery Bounty formats suggest a sophisticated understanding of bounty equity and adjusting aggression based on knockout rewards.
