FSPC Event 1 (Flight 1C): Maistri Currently Pacing the Field

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 1 - $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 105
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 48

Kyle Maistri (Florida)

The race for the chip lead bonus doesn't really take true form until after the final break of the flight, but one player has made sure that he's considered the favorite at the moment.  Kyle Maistri sits with just over 170,000 in front of him, which leads the field by a wide margin.  Of the chip leaders from earlier (Kalgstein, Smith, and Friedman), only Aaron Friedman has maintained a stack above 100,000.

One of the most common questions from players in flights that offer a bonus is, "What did the chip leaders bag yesterday (or up to this point)?"  The top stacks from yesterday's action were held by Joseph Thomas (374,000 from Flight 1A) and Oleg Efremov (505,000 form Flight 1B), with Flight 1C's eventual leader likely to fall more in the range of Thomas (considering field size).
