FSPC Event 14 (Flight 1A): Freedman In Front Early

2017 Florida State Poker Championships
Event 14 - $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($150,000 GTD)
Level 6 (150/300/50)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 52


Bruce Freedman (Yorba Linda, CA)

A fast start in a tournament structured like Event #14 is much different than that of a $175 buy-in, as the stack to blind ratio is so much deeper.  Bruce Freedman (Yorba Linda, CA) has already tripled his 20,000 starting stack, and sits with over (200) big blinds.  To put things into perspective, if Bruce ended up bagging the same amount he has now to end the day, he'd be finishing the night with over (50) bigs.  

Freedman is a player with just under $20,000 in lifetime earnings, with a majority of his cashes coming here at the Isle.  His most recent recorded result was from 2013, when he reached the final four of the $330 No Limit Hold'em Heads-Up event ($1,272).  

The quick start has him leading the field at the moment (66,000), but its how a player finishes that determines much of the success.  Just a reminder, the chip leader at the end of this flight will earn entry into next week's FSPC $1,500 Main Event.
