"August $100,000" (Flight 1E): There's No "Days Off" In Blogging

"August $100,000 GTD"
$150 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 86

Karin Powsner (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) and Avi Levy (Coral Springs, FL)

While taking the day off to recover from food poisoning sounded like a great idea, the interest of the blog followers was too high to stay away from Flight 1E.  "Live blogged coverage" is back for the remainder of the flight, as we jump right into the notables in the field that weren't mentioned earlier.  Karin Powsner (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) and Avi Levy (Coral Springs, FL) are in the field for the first time in this event.  Both players are Isle Casino Poker Room regulars, but each focus on different sides of the room.  Karin frequents many of the tournaments on the recurring schedule, while Avi could be found playing cash most everyday.  Some others that still remain active in the field as registration closes include:

Evan Teitelbaum
Tony Mucci
Daniel Genachte
Tom Gity
Arlene Vazquez
Paul Shafran

Players will be on their second break of the day at the end of this level, and will be returning to Level 9, with new blinds of 300/600/75.  Once the cards are in the air, we will have the official numbers from the flight, and will also take out first look at chip counts.
