Jerry Silva

Proving he’s not a one-hit-wonder, Jerry Silva, who earlier ran aces into ace-king on a king-high flop to scoop a monster, has continued his solid play here in Flight C. He sits on a stack of 145,500 chips and leads the way following the day’s final break.

Flight C players are set to log two more levels before bagging and tagging at roughly 6:45pm local time. Updated Day 2 chip counts will be posted after play concludes.

Mark “Bud” Wiser

In addition to Brandon Byars, there’s another familiar face working its way up the counts. Mark “Bud” Wiser, after firing a couple entries into yesterday’s action, returned today to play Flight C and is steadily climbing up. He holds a stack of nearly 100,000 and eyes a Day 2 berth late in play.

Brandon Byars

Brandon Byars has been cruising along comfortably for the majority of Flight C never really being in any trouble. Recently, he flopped a set in a raised pot and got a little value until his opponents folded to his pressure on the turn.

Byars took a nice pot following the hand and flirted with the 100,000-chip mark.

Stuart Ferguson

Late in Level 4, Stuart Ferguson got his last roughly 10,000 in the pot holding AxKx. He was at risk and drawing slim versus his opponent’s pocket kings, but spiked Broadway on the turn to take the lead. His straight held and he doubled up to more than starting stack.

Now, six levels later after being halfway out the door, Ferguson continues to hang around with over 30,000 chips early in Level 10.

Level 7: 250/500/75
Flight C Entries: 81 (Total Entries: 266)

Jerry Silva

Jerry Silva was in the cutoff holding AcAh. The button’s had was dead, the chips were in the middle, the board was dealt and the damage was done. According to the table, the button had owned AxKx and played a monster pot versus Silva’s aces following a Kc7c6s flop. The overpair held against top-top and Silva scooped a pile of chips while the button was left busted.

The pot grew Silva’s stack to just south of 90,000.
