Day 2 ($75,000 Guarantee): Checking Up On The Top Of The Leaderboard

$130 No Limit Hold'em ($75,000 GTD)
Level 17 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 1,243
Players Remaining: 110
Chip Average: 203,000

Ariel Williams (Miami, FL)

Since returning from break, the field lost a trio of players in just (5) minutes, and is now (20) spots away from the money.  Coming into the day with 531,500, Ariel Williams was never in danger of not making the money, but she has experienced some rough going to start the day.  She's lost close to 35% of her stack since play resumed at 12:00pm, and now sits with 320,000.

Williams has a lot of tournament experience to take from though, including a recent deep run in the opening event of the Jacksonville Best Bet Bounty Scramble series.  Ariel reached the final table of the $350 No Limit Hold'em event, and earned her largest career cash of $14,790.  There must be a sense of comfort playing here at the Isle though for Williams, as the first six cashes of her career came at this property, including a recorded win at a $100,000 Guaranteed event in 2013 ($14,170).
