"August $150,000" (Flight 1G): Keeping Up With The Sports Theme

"August $150,000 GTD"
$360 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 77


Daniel Pearlman (Hollywood, FL)

Just like David Ward in his Celtics gear, whenever you see Daniel Pearlman (Hollywood, FL) in an event, he's usually sporting a Giants jersey.  This particular jersey probably holds a place in his heart, as he was wearing it during his biggest score, which came earlier this year.  Pearlman finished runner-up in the $1,675 NLH WSOPC Main Event at Cherokee, taking home over $196,000.  Daniel has over $373,000 in live tournament earnings, as well as online earnings over $30,000.  It's been a breakout year for Pearlman (over $327,000 in 2017 earnings), who never had more than $14,545 earnings in any given tournament year prior.

Daniel headlines the second group of notables in the field, many of which trying to find a bag, after prior efforts fell short:

Matthew Erich
Andrew Rakusa
Luke Poljak
Joseph Mancuso
Shaun Glennon
Jakub Paulik
Robert Urspruch

Players will be taking their first break of the day at the end of this level, returning to Level 5 (and blinds of 150/300/25).
