Event 14 (Day 1A): Charyn Heads Into Final Level With Chip Lead

"Battles At The Beach"

Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)

Level 12 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)

Total Entries: 106

Howard Charyn (East Meadow, NY)

Day 1A play has just entered it's final level, with (40) players currently remaining from the (106) total entries.  For those who make it through this last level (and to the bagging process), it will have been a very long day of close to (12) hours of play.  Howard Charyn (East Meadow, NY) may have had to painfully fold a hand moments ago to a pre-flop shove, but all he has to do is look down and see that he still has the largest stack of anyone remaining in the field.

Charon currently sits with over 260,000, and is the only player to have eclipsed the 200,000 mark this flight.  Howard may not be a familiar name to followers of the blog, but he has just under $50,000 in live tournament earnings, including a WSOPC ring, won during a $345 No Limit Hold'em event in 2011 (Palm Beach Kennel Club - $24,650).  Just last month, Charyn cashed in the $3,300 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship Event, adding $6,930 to his resume (102nd place).
