Players are going to be heading on their second break of the day at the end of this level (Level 8), meaning there are four levels (and through dinner break) of registration left for the tournament. The $20,000 guaranteed prize pool will be eclipsed during that period, solid proof that this event has become a "fan favorite." We mentioned the Lipkins in our most recent post (husband and wife combo in the field), and have come across another couple in the tournament together...Angela Julian (Pinellas Park, FL) and Garrett Topping (Atlanta, GA).

| Angela Julian (Pinellas Park, FL) only has one recorded cash on her resume, coming during the 2014 Spring Poker Open at Hard Rock Tampa, but she's currently on pace to add another to the list. Julian is one of the chip leaders in the field, sitting with over 70,000 in front of her, a comfortable stack of (140) big blinds. |

| Only a few tables over from Angela is her boyfriend Garrett Topping (Atlanta, GA), another player with only one recorded cash on his resume. His singular cash also came at Hard Rock Tampa, but it was during the 2014 Winter Poker Open. Topping has to do some work to catch up to his girlfriend's chip stack at the moment, but this structure allows for deep play and movement in these early stages. |
 |
| John Palace (Jupiter, FL) is coming off an Isle Poker Open in which he cashed in two events, finishing third in Event #8 ($75 NLH) for $1,378 and then 74th the following day in Event #9 ($350 NLH) for $677. Palace was one of our later arrivals, and sits with just over the starting stack. |
