Event 14 (Day 1C): Brown Stepping Up After Event 8 Final Table

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 2 (Blinds 75/150)
Total Entries: 83

Rafiki Brown (Pembroke Pines, FL)

Raffia Brown (Pembroke Pines, FL) is "stepping up in class," to take a term from horse racing, as he is in the field for one of the largest buy-in tournaments he's played in.  Brown is coming into the event with confidence, having just earned his largest live tournament score earlier in the week.  Brown finished third in Event 8, collecting $31,924 for his efforts, and bringing his career tournament earnings up to $62,212.  Rafiki would have been poised to have made an even deeper run Monday afternoon, had he not run his turned flush into Michael Amato's rivered full house.  The way the hand played out, it was unlikely that any player would have been able to release in that spot.  Brown is the first notable spotted in a large contingent that's currently in action:

Erik Nomberg
Juan Rodriguez
Kenneth Bruno
Michael Tufaro
Ido Ashkenazi
James Wang
Frank Traino
Thomas Millward
