Level 6:  300/500 with a 500 ante
Flight C Entries:  85

Jeff Trudeau Jr was found in the field today and he’s trying close out a year that is already a success. He added two of his seven career WSOP Circuit rings in 2019 including the High Roller title in the WSOPC Coco series.

In addition to those two rings, he conquered a 659-entry field in this summer’s WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event for another major title.

This will wrap up our live updates from today’s action. We will post the combined Event 2 chip counts as soon as they are available and back at the keyboard on Friday for the 11 am start of Flight D.

Level 5:  200/400 with a 400 ante
Flight C Entries:  71

Flight C returned from its first break of the night with 71 entries and climbing. It’s still early in their day with plenty of time to get to the poker room to join them.

We found a couple more familiar faces including regulars Jacob Naumann and Bryce McVay. They are two of the more successful players in action this evening and always a dangerous spot if they are in a pot.

The Flight C entry count climbed over 50 after an hour and it’s getting higher as they near the first break. There are some friendly faces in the early crowd including Cheri Beatty and Jeremy Becker.

Both have SHR Tampa success with wins for each. Beatty picked up her biggest career cash earlier this year when she banked a $20K score for third place in the $200 May Little Slick series. Becker won the Sunday Triple Stack a year ago and has a dozen or so final table results.
