Alan Saltzman (Lantana, FL)

After completing a few laps around the field to grab chip counts, we see Alan Saltzman (Lantana, FL) climbing up the leaderboard.  Saltzman has over $109,000 in live tournament earnings, a bulk of which came during this series last year.  Alan won Event 2 ($570 No Limit Hold'em) for $82,100, and followed that up with a seventh place finish in the $1,500 Main Event for just over $20,000.  Dmitry Agrachov still leads the field, but a handful of players are closing the gap:

Dmitry Agrachov - 170,000

Louis Leo - 135,000

Alan Saltzman - 120,000

Nagi Yassa - 120,000

Josh Sidman - 105,000

Dolphus Powers - 100,000

Luke Mcintosh - 100,000

Michael Tufaro - 100,000

Players are now taking their final break of the flight, and will return to finish off the last two scheduled levels, before bagging their chips for Sunday's Day 2.
