"January $100,000 II" (Flight 1E): Lots Of First Time Entries In the Field

"January $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 159


Jamie Wiegrefe (Miami, FL) is usually all business at the tables, but actually cracked a smile, after his pocket aces held up against Nagui Yassa's pocket eights.

There are a lot of players in this afternoon's field that are taking their first attempt at bagging for the tournament, including Jamie Wiegrefe (Miami, FL).  Jamie has been experiencing some solid tournament success as of late, booking two of his largest lifetime cashes over the last three months.  Wiegrefe was part of a six-way deal that ended the "November $200,000," a $360 buy-in event that headlined the Isle Poker's schedule for that month.  He earned $14,820 for his sixth place share, and just last week, he finished third in a $570 No Limit Hold'em event during the Lucky Hearts Poker Open ($11,480).  Jamie is already off to a solid start today, as his aces held up moments ago, knocking out Nagui Yassa from play at Table 2. 

Wiegrefe headlines a group of players that we are seeing in action for the first time during live blogged coverage of this event:

Francis Margaglione

Paula Alibrandi
Dolline Willis

Steve Lipkins
Daren Stabinski
