"February $50,000 II"
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 13 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/300)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 143
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 53

Anthony Abdo (West Palm Beach, FL) is just a month removed from his largest lifetime cash, finishing 51st in the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em WPT Championship during the Lucky Hearts Poker Open ($10,006).

After the final break yesterday, Michael Plaxco (Muscle Shoals, AL) led the field, and ended up bagging the chip lead.  That occurrence is pretty rare, as the landscape of the leaderboard usually shifts dramatically over the final three levels.  Denian Costa (Miami, FL) has reclaimed the chip lead from Gil Guadalpi, but are within just one sizable pot of each other.  The top five stacks post break are listed below, as players prepare for the final levels:

Denian Costa - 170,000 (135bb)
Gil Guadalpi - 145,000 (122bb)
Elliot Zaydman - 115,000 (107bb)
Yigal Hen - 110,000 (105bb)
Anthony Abdo - 105,000 (102bb)
