Event 2 (Day 1B): Booker Off To A Quick Start

Event 2 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD)
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Day 1B Entries: 110
Day 1B Players Remaining: 77
Total Event 2 Entries: 268

Johnathan Booker (Tampa, FL)

The field is currently half the way through Level 6, and at the conclusion of this level, will head on their second break of the day.  When play resumes with Level 7, the transition to (50) minute levels will occur, and will stay that way through the conclusion of the flight (and the tournament).  

During the most recent lap across the tournament area, we spotted our first player to eclipse the century mark, as Johnathan Booker sits with over 120,000 in front of him.  Research has not yielded much information about Booker, so we'll have to assume that he is working towards his first recorded tournament cash (although he was featured on the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa blog).  That stack would be top fifteen of the players already booked for Sunday's Day 2, but there is a lot of play remaining in the day, and it will be interesting to see where the early chip leader ends up.
