"$175 NLH $100,000 GTD" (Flight 1C): The Look From Atop The Leaderboard Has Changed Dramatically

$175 No Limit Hold'em
$100,000 Guaranteed
Level 15 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/500)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 99
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 20

Mike Banas catapulted himself to the top of the leaderboard, after rolling through Levels 13 and 14, finding himself with 150,000 in chips.

The names that were once leading the flight (Joseph Gotlieb and Dafney Adisson) have dropped significantly...in fact, Adisson is no longer an active player in the field.  They have been replaced by names like Mike Banas and Alan Saltzman.  Both players hold just above 150,000, as we enter the final two levels of play.  While it may look like a two horse race at the moment, the chip lead bonus is a realistic possibility for basically everyone remaining in the field.

Mike Banas - 158,000 (52bb)

Alan Saltzman - 153,000 (51bb)
