Frank Spaulding

While players were on their second break and tournament staff were coloring off the black chips, we wandered the tables to check for our leaders.

Frank Spaulding was tops in the field after eight levels, his 203,000 the only stack over 200K. Goran Dragicevic was not far behind with 190,500 and Jacob Naumann is doing just fine with 168,500.

Event 1 Flight C: Last Level to Register

Level 8:  600/1,200 with a 1,200 ante
Flight C Entries: 187

Level 8 is here and the last chance to join this particular flight, but there are still three more shots with the next at 6 pm this evening. The tournament will not surpass its $200,000 guarantee this afternoon but they will hit it before the first break in Flight D.

Maybe even before cards go in the air.

WPO Event 1 continues to cruise right along with 145 entries in Flight C at the first break and only 124 new entries needed to match the $200,000 guarantee already. They likely won’t get there in Flight C, but meeting that number tonight in Flight D is a lock.

Some early friends in the field include Tony March, Steve Trizis, AJ Kelsall, Phillip Krnyaich, and Herbert Woodbery.
