2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 1 - $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 11 (Blinds 600/1,200/200)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 101
Players Remaining: 37/101

Gail Sandler (Bellmore, NY)

While the action has slowed down slightly, because of the deeper stacks across the field (chip average is currently 35 big blinds), one player has managed to separate herself from the field.  Gail Sandler has spent the last few levels trending upwards, and is well in front of the rest of the field, as she sits with over 150,000.

Sandler may be a new name to the blog, but just because she doesn't play many tournaments, doesn't mean she's a novice.  Gail's Hendon Mob resume has two results, both from 1993, and both top four finishes.  Her last recorded cash from the 1993 L.A. Poker Classic was in a $500 Limit Hold'em event (yes...that does read LIMIT hold'em).  She finished in fourth place that day ($7,410), behind names like Sam Grizzle and Chau Giang.  Some who appreciates and the history of poker would know those names...world class players in their time.

Needless to say, it's been a long time since Gail has recorded a live tournament cash, but it doesn't really look like she's missed anything while she's been gone.
