Fletcher McKinney (Winterhaven, FL)

The Flight 1C action has been pretty timid to this point, and with just over three tables remaining, it's surprising to have not seen some big stacks pop up across the field.  Fletcher McKinney (Winterhaven, FL) is the current chip leader, sitting with just over 140,000.  There are only two other players in the field above the 100,000 mark, but as we've seen time and time again, a lot can (and will) change over the last few levels of the night.

McKinney has a pretty impressive resume, with over $188,000 in live tournament earnings, all of which came prior to 2016.  Fletcher hasn't recorded a result since November of 2015, and you'd have to go back even farther to spot his last Isle Casino Poker cash (June of 2012).  Fletcher has three major scores that make up a good portion of his earnings, with his highlighting score coming in 2007.  McKinney would take home eighth place money in the 2007 $10,000 Main Event of the Gulf Coast Poker Championship (Beau Rivage, Biloxi), worth over $70,000.

The reason for the gap since his last cash in unknown, but it's clear that Fletcher is a name to look out for as this tournament continues on.
