Michael Fryett (Lake Stevens, WA) has been playing tournaments outside of Florida for the past two years, but it now back in action, and thriving in today's opening flight.

Michael Fryett (Lake Stevens, WA) is originally from the Pacific-Northwest, but started putting in serious tournament volume here in Florida.  Fryett's first recorded cash came during the 2010 WSOP $10,000 Main Event, when he finished in 628th place ($21,327).  There was then a five year gap on his Hendon Mob resume, with his return to tournament action coming in 2015 (at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood).  

Michael went on to record cashes only in Florida (in 2015), and then shifted his focus on the Northeast.  He spent the next two years primarily playing events in Maryland (Maryland Live! and MGM National Harbor), with an Atlantic City score sprinkled in.  Fryett made his Florida return this afternoon, and is off to a very good start, more than quadrupling his starting stack over the first four levels of play.  

We should remind players and followers, that it's no longer about how you do against the rest of the field in the flight you play in, but where you stand after all flights are completed (in regards to the chip lead bonus).  Therefore, it's likely that we will see players try and keep their foot on the peddle, as they finish up with the later stages of the flight.
