Esther Foley (Tamarac, FL) 

Yesterday was a festive day for countless people across the country, and while Esther Foley (Tamarac, FL) was celebrating as well, it wasn't just in regards to the July 4th holiday.  Foley had a "gender reveal" get together yesterday afternoon, as family and friends anxiously waited to find out whether Foley's second child was going to be a boy or a girl (it was also a surprise to Foley).  When the balloon popped, showers of blue confetti came down, meaning she is going to be having another boy.  Foley isn't due until October, so she's currently focusing on her tournament game, which has solid this year.

Esther was introduced to followers of the blog a few months ago, during the "April $100,000 GTD," an event she earned eight place money in ($10,203).  The tournament ($350 No Limit Hold'em) had a prize pool of $222,600, which allowed for the twelve players that chopped the tournament to each walk away with over $7,500.  Foley joined the action during the last level, and continues our list of notables in the field:

Zakarya Wolgamott

Marc Culberson

Ralph Spadafore

Eric Piderit

Dai Lam

Alvaro Vivas Grisales

Players will be heading on their first break of the day at the conclusion of this level, and will be returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 150/300/25.
