Michael Shasho has made a name for himself as the self-styled "Mad Dog," and living up to his frat boy inspired moniker, he loves to bark when at the table. Shasho is known for his apologetically brash style, often mixing it up in verbal altercations with fellow players as he looks to rattle them into straying from their best game.

The 181st-ranked player in all of New Jersey is here today playing in the Six Max event, looking to capture that elusive first reported victory in a live tournament. Shasho has accumulated $142,834 in live earnings over the last eight years, with his biggest score of $20,435 coming right here at the Borgata for a 12th place finish in a $560 NLHE Reentry event at the 2012 Borgata Winter Poker Open.

We'll be sure to track the "Mad Dog" throughout the day, as he attempts to prove that his bark is not bigger than his bite, by taking down top honors in a live poker tournament after so many close calls and near misses.
