Cheri Beatty (Tampa, FL)

Cheri Beatty (Tampa, FL) may not be a name followers of the blog recognize, but it's likely because she calls Central Florida home, and spends most of her time playing at Hard Rock Tampa and Tampa Bay Downs.  Cheri has (12) recorded results on her tournament resume, totaling over $12,000 in live earnings.  After making the four hour drive yesterday, and unsuccessfully bagging chips in Flight 1D, Beatty is back in the field and off to a hot start.  She just got her stack in with K♠ K♣ against A♦ J♥ on a J♠ 10♦ 10♥ board, and after running out clean, Beatty sits with over 65,000.  Cheri is just one of many players to make travel plans in order to enter this event, and continues our list of notables in the crowd:
