Event 9 (Flight D): Off To A Fast Start

Event 9 ($350 No Limit Hold'em $300,000 Guarantee)
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/50)
Total Flight D Entries: 67

Jose Delacruz (Flagler Beach, FL)

It's a little early to start concentrating on the "chiplead bonus" race, but we do have two players in the field that are off to quick starts.  Jose Delacruz is currently pacing the field, as he has almost tripled his starting stack over the first seven levels of play.  The 80,000 stack he's currently sitting with is actually creeping close to what is now the Day 2 chip average (118,000).  Jose is coming off his second largest career score, reaching the final table of the HPT $1,650 NLH Maine Event in Daytona Beach (9th place - $11,184).

Also topping the leaderboard at the moment is Mark Gaudino (Plantation, FL), who sits with 70,000.  Guano is also an accomplished tournament grinder, with over $111,000 in career earnings, spread across (66) cashes dated from 2007-present.
