"February $100,000" (Flight 1A): Quick Turnaround For Christensen

"February $100,000"
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 3 (Blinds 75/150/25)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 35


Erik Christensen (Miami, FL) definitely wins the superlative for "best dressed" in today's field, rocking the sports jacket and button down.

There are seemingly "major" tournaments going on at all times across the country, but not many compare to the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open thats currently heading to Day 4.  The $3,500 No Limit Hold'em event boasts a $3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, and ended up crushing that number, with a total of 1,244 entries.  

Miami native Erik Christensen took the trip to Atlantic City earlier in the week, and ended up bagging chips for Day 2 of the prestigious event.  Unfortunately, that would be where Erik's run end, as he was eliminated short of the money (which was reached just a few minutes into Day 3).  Christensen took a quick flight home, and is already in action this afternoon.  Erik has over $368,000 in live tournament earnings, including his first 2018 cash, finishing 25th in the $2,500 NLH "Million Dollar Heater" Main Event at Biloxi.

Erik headlines the first group of notables in the field, which includes many regulars to tournaments here at the Isle Poker Room:

Ory Hen
Ido Ashkenazi
Joseph Marchese
William Underdown
Kenneth Bruno
Stephen Smith
Nancy Thomas
Allan Bieler
