Event 13 (Day 1A): Jagroo Shifts The Balance Of Power

Event 13 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Championship Event)
$500,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: 99

Michael Jagroo (Sunny Isles Beach, FL)

After an hour away from the tables, players in this Day 1A flight are now focused on the "homestretch," and finding a bag for their chips.  Michael Jagroo (Sunny Isles Beach, FL) returns fro break as the chipleader, sitting with just over 200,000.  With (51) players remaining on six tournament tables, Jagroo finds himself within arms length of the only player that could pose a threat to his whole stack in a given hand.  A.J. Gambino (Royerdford, PA) sits only a few thousand behind Jagroo, and is currently in the midst of his strongest tournament year to date.  Gambino has earned close to $200,000 of his career $350,000 earnings in 2016, highlighted by a fourth place finish in a $1,600 MSPT event at the Venetian earlier this summer ($119,104). 

Michael Jagroo - 208,000
A.J. Gambino - 190,000
Gunnar Rabe - 100,000
Athanasios Polychronopoulos - 95,000
Ben Lindemulder - 92,000
