Level 11 (Blinds 600/1,200/200)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 102

Richard Wetter (Palm Beach Gardens, FL)

It's taken a little longer than we've seen in flights prior, but a big stack has emerged from the field, and it's Richard Wetter (Palm Beach Gardens, FL).  Wetter is likely feeling "groovy" after decimating his neighbors stack (Antonio Albanes, featured earlier in the wild glasses), and now sits with over 160,000.  Wetter has just under $50,000 in live tournament earnings, and owns a WSOPC ring, won in the Seniors Event (2013) at the Palm Beach Kennel Club ($34,250).

The Flight 1C field is now down to (39) players, and once action reaches three tables, we will update you on all of those remaining (full table lineup).
