Event 9 (Flight A): Early Birds Out In Full Force

Event 9 ($350 No Limit Hold'em $300,000 Guarantee)
Level 2 (Blinds 50/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: 27

This afternoon's flight is seeing an "intimate" start, but that doesn't mean that some of the Isle Poker notables aren't already seated:


Francis Margaglione (Davie, FL) gave us one of our storylines last Sunday during Event 5, buying into Day 2 just before the cards got in the air (with the 25,000 starting stack), and just missing out on the tournament's final table.  Margaglione doubled his stack just moments into Day 2 play, and from there, it was a steady trend upwards.  Francis adds the $2,332 to his tournament resume, bringing the total to $123,582.


Frederico Dabus (Doral, FL) is a player to watch in any event he enters here, seemingly amassing a top stack each tournament he's played this series.  He has a cash from Event 1 earlier in the month (40th place - $430), and while he started Day 2 of Event with a top (20) stack, he was not able to find traction at any point throughout the day.  Dabus has seven WSOP cashes to his name, including one final table last year ($1,000 No Limit Hold'em - 8th place $38,676).
