BATB Event #1 (Flight 1C): Williams Is Back After Short Rest, And A Solid Score

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200) | Structure 
Total Flight 1C Entries: 100

Donald Williams (Plantation, FL) took his seat in the Flight 1C field just moments ago, only hours after wrapping up a deep run at Hard Rock (Escalator Series).

Tournament players in Florida are very lucky, with an opportunity to play in prestigious events, seemingly every day of the week.  Donald Williams (Plantation, FL) chose to enter the $350 No Limit Hold'em event during the Hard Rock's Escalator Series this past weekend, and is pretty happy he did.  The event, which ended up attracted over 1,400 entries, offered up some sizable final table payouts (including almost $90,000 up top).  

Williams managed to navigate his way to the final table, and when play was four-handed, happened to be the chip leader.  Talks of a chop began, but eventually fell through, with the tournament playing down to an outright winner.  Donald ended up getting eliminated in fourth place, and while the fall from the top may have been disappointing, the $28,179 pay day definitely helped ease the pain.  That result now stands as the largest of his career, and comes less than a month after another five-figure score (deep run in this WSOP Circuit at Coconut Creek worth $12,417).

Some say rest is overrated, and clearly Williams is a believer in that statement, taking his seat in this Flight 1C field moments ago (he was eliminated shortly after 2:00am this morning).  If he is a little tired, Donald will get a (10) minute break at the end of this level, which is the first break of the day.  Players will be returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 150/300/25.
