"August $150,000" (Flight 1G): Brand Leading The Way, Looking For That Breakout Score

"August $150,000 GTD"
$360 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 131

Michael Brand (Boca Raton, FL)

Players are about to head on their second break of the day, and will be returning to Level 9, and blinds of 300/600/75.  With Jakub Paulik dipping down from his earlier number, it looks like Michael Brand is now the chip leader, sitting with just over 100,000.  Once the cards are in the air for Level 9, it will signify the close of registration for the flight, leaving players with just tonight's 6:00pm flight to try and bag chips.

Pending Brand is able to go on and bag chips, most any cash outside of a min-cash will be the largest of his career.  Michael has three results on his Hendon Mob resume, two of which came in 2015, and one earlier this year, during the Battles At The Beach ($360 No Limit Hold'em - 80th Place $781).
