Level 3 (blinds 75/150)

Total Flight 1G Entries: 113

Tom Gity (Pompano Beach, FL)

There are many followers of the blog, along with players in this Flight 1G field, that would jump at the opportunity to trade spots with Tom Gity (Pompano Beach, FL).  Reason being...Gity has already secured a spot in tomorrow's Day 2 field, bagging 90,000 two nights ago in Flight 1D.  Many would ask why Tom decided to jump back in today's field, but there are two solid reasons that standout: Gity's is returning to a stack below (20) blinds to start the day tomorrow, and there is also the opportunity to win a $1,500 Battles At The Beach Main Event seat if he was to bag this flight's chip lead.  Tom's appearance stood out for that exact reason during the first lap around the field, but the Isle Casino Poker Room regular is joined by a slew of notables this afternoon:
