Event 1 (Flight 1A): Can't Spell Urspruch Without "UP"

2017 "Battles At The Beach"

Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)

Level 15 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/400)

Total Flight 1A Entries: 107

Robert Urspruch (Plantation, FL)

With the blinds increasing, and the stack ratio thinning out, we are witnessing a transfer of power.  John Vidal, who was the overall chip leader at last update, has been eliminated from Flight 1A play (at the hands of Robert Urspruch).  Urspruch, who has one recorded cash on Hendon Mob,  is now the favorite to bag the flight chip lead (with over 350,000).  There are two levels of play remaining, and two tables currently active (20 players left).
