Carey Pickus (Atherton, CA)

There are a handful of ladies remaining in the field, of the (57) active players left heading to Level 10, with Carey Pickus (Atherton, CA) leading the group.  With over 240,000 in front of her, she only trails Alex Nguyen and Brian Harmon, and is making a push for the flight chip lead.  Pickus has cashes from numerous spots across the country, but is looking for her first cash in the state of Florida.  With over $61,000 in career earnings, Carey is no stranger to the players/play that comes along with an event carrying a buy-in over $1,000.  The highlighting score on her poker resume came in 2014, when she final tabled the $1,100 MSPT Mid-Season Championship (5th Place - $42,017), held in Las Vegas during the WSOP.

Some other ladies remaining in the flight include Loni Harwood, Marsha Wolak, Kim Den, and Lisa Teebagy.
