BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Early Arrivals Hope To Have The Next Two Days Free

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #14 | $1,500 NLH Championship ($500,000 GTD)

Level 1 (Blinds 50/100) | Structure
Total Flight 1A Entries: 28


Neil Blumenfield (San Francisco, CA) has experienced what some may say is the pinnacle of tournament poker, reaching the WSOP Main Event final table, and finishing 3rd in 2015 ($3,398,298). 

There are already four active tables across the tournament floor, as Event #14 is just past the midway point of it's first level.  The day started with (24) entries, with a handful more trickling in over the first twenty minutes.  Former "November-Niner" Neil Blumenfield (San Francisco, FL) was one of the first players to take their seat in the field, coming off a final table finish at Hard Rock, during the most recent Escalator Series. Neil ended up finishing eighth in the $150 No Limit Hold'em multi, adding $3,436 to his tournament resume, which now boasts earnings over $3,695,000.  The table talk has started early at Table 5, as Blumenfield shares the felt with Paul Shafran and Anthony Utnage.  Some other early notables in the Flight 1A field include:

Kenneth Bruno
Donald Williams
Moshe Wasser
Jeff Kessler
Matt Smith
Scott Zakheim
