2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 18 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/500) | Structure
Total Event #1 Entries: 958
Event #1 Players Remaining: 113
After just one level of play, the Day 2 field has already lost eighteen players, with the pace expected to pick up as the blind grow higher. A total of (89) players will be reaching the money, which means the money bubble should be upon us in just a few levels. David Albertson (Coral Springs, FL) returned to action as the chip leader, and has the experience in this spot to make him one of the favorites to go deep. Albertson made a super deep run in the first tournament that was ever live blogged (on this website), Event #1 of the 2016 Isle Open. David ended up bowing out in third place, which was worth $9,282. Just two months later, Albertson would head a ten-way chop of a $130 No Limit Hold'em multi that boasted a $75,000 guarantee.
As we know from following tournament poker, coming in as a massive chip leader could be a blessing...or a curse. Albertson's name is one we will keep an eye out for, along with the other start of Day 2 chip leaders (including Omar Yates, Donald Williams, Mark Dube, and Joshua Zur).
As mentioned earlier in the day, unforeseen circumstances we keep the media from offering detailed Day 2 coverage, but results will be posted live as they happen.
