Event 1 (Flight 1C): Zarcadoolas Does It

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)
Level 16 (Blinds 2,000/4,000/500)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 102

Matt Zarcadoolas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

As the final level was playing out, Matt Zarcadoolas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) became very interested in where everyone stood in relation to the "race."  He got up from his seat during the latter stages of Level 16, and surveyed the field...and then proceeded to play in six of the last seven hands of the flight.  He happened to win all but one, and although he may not have needed to win all of those hands to bag the lead, it only padded his stack.  The numbers haven't been made official just yet, but Zarcadoolas bagged well over 300,000, and earns himself a seat into the 2017 Battles At The Beach Main Event.

Once the tournament staff finishes up with the bagging process, the official chip counts from the flight will be posted.  This will conclude the "live coverage" for the day, but you can check back for updates in regards to the "evening" flight (Flight 1D), along with official chip counts once the night is over (around 2:30am).
