"June $50,000 GTD" (Flight 1A): As Advertised...Margaglione Breaks Away From The Pack

"June $50,000 GTD"
$75 No Limit Hold'em
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 113




"I'm going to have to try and live up to your post now," exclaimed Francis Margaglione as we walked by his table.  Not (10) minutes after that statement, Margaglione limp shoved over an open with pocket aces, getting a call out of the opener who held pocket jacks.  Both players held close to 60,000 in chips each, so this pot would be worth well over 100,000 to the eventual winner.  While to paint cards found there way onto the board, neither were the jack that Francis's opponent would be looking for.  Margaglione would take an overwhelming chip lead as player head to their first break of the day.  

Once the break that follows this level has concluded, and cards are in the air for Level 9, registration for this flight will be closed.  There is currently over $6,000 in the flight's prize pool, and if field sizes stayed on this exact pace, we'd be looking at a prize pool eclipsing the guarantee.  Some of the following flights may have less than this opening number, but a majority of them will be larger.  Players can looking forward to a prize pool in the $60,000-$70,000 for this tournament, which offers an incredible ROI for a $75 buy-in event.
