Event 5 (Day 1C): Henry Grabs The Early Lead

David Henry (Pompano Beach, FL)

The dynamic of an early chip leader in these multi-day events is always interesting, especially when there is a bonus on the line, as is this flight ($1,500 Main Event seat).  David Henry is the clear leader at the moment, sitting with over 140,000 (over four times the current average).  Henry is looking to get back in the winner circle, having one two events here (in a two week span) during the 2015 Battle At The Beach.  

The wins in Event 3 and Event 11 during the series earned Henry just under $8,000, helping push his career tournament earnings to $40,000.  David has already cashed in this series, finishing in 66th place ($306) earlier in the week during Event 1.  While it's not a complete freeroll, Henry must be feeling like he's "playing with house money," having been one of the (10) players to satellite into this flight last night.

Players are about to take their second break of the day, and when they return to Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/50), the length of each level transitions to (50) minutes.
