Austin Peck (Allen, TX)

There are some new names on the Flight 1A leaderboard, as a handful of player caught heat heading to break, including Austin Peck (Allen, TX).  Peck has over $360,000 in lifetime earnings, and is only five months removed from his largest tournament score to date.  Peck reached the final table of the WSOPC $1,675 Main Event, a tournament that had over 1,450 entries.  Austin ended up finishing in fifth place, which was good for $98,770.

Also making a move to the top was Michael Amato, who got involved in a few big pots with Joseph Gotlieb, coming out on the winning end each time.  Amato has become the first player to eclipse the 300,000 mark, and is only an hour away from bagging a very comfortable Day 2 stack.  Gotlieb was the flight's chip leader a few hours ago, but has since trended down to below 60,000.

Michael Amato - 305,000

Salomon Cohen - 235,000
