Fitzgerald has recorded eight WSOP.com cashes, totaling $122,244 in earnings.

He was eliminated when his A♠K♠ ran into A♥K♦ on a queen-high flop; the turn and river failed to improve his hand.

He bagged the chip lead on Day 1b with 1,312,702 chips, ahead of notables like Jason Koon and Ludovic Geilich. He ultimately cashed in the event, adding to his career totals.
