Event 5 (Day 1C): Levitt Likes This Price Point

Event 5 ($570 NLH - $250,000 Guarantee)
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Day 1B Entries: 159

Day 1B Players Remaining: 124

Joseph Levitt (Delray Beach, FL)
The $570 buy-in for this event isn't for everyone (which is why there are so many great satellites offered), but it is one at which you'll see both recreational and professional poker players slide into.  

This same buy-in event during last year's Florida State Poker Championship drew a total of (740) entries, and boasted a prize pool of $361,000.  It was a memorable one for Joseph Levitt (Delray Beach, FL), who took top billing in an eight-way chop that was agreed to at the final table.  Levitt walked away with $49,523, which is Joseph's highest tournament cash by far.

Levitt is currently seated at Table 5, looking to spin up his stack which is sitting at around 20,000.  Also sharing the felt at Table 5 is Raymond Millard (Ft. Lauderdale, FL).  Millard  is another Florida based tournament player with an impressive resume, amassing over $278,000 in earnings.  A large chunk of that number came in 2006, all in events with buy-ins of $1,500 or higher.  There is a gap in the resume between 2008-2014, but since returning to play, Millard's numbers have continued to climb.
