"$175 NLH $100,000 GTD" (Flight 1E): Eddy Espinosa Sends One To The Exits, Continues Upward Trend

$175 No Limit Hold'em
$100,000 Guaranteed
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 149



Eddy Espinosa (Lake Worth, FL) is one of the early leaders in the field, and could be putting himself in contention for a seat in the largest buy-in event he ever played.

As we were passing Table 3, Robert Golden would be all-in and at risk against Eddy Espinosa (Lake Worth, FL), who was already off to a fast start.  When the cards were tabled, Espinosa held a commanding lead, with Q♠ Q♣ against the J J of Golden.  The board ran out with no card higher than a seven, and Eddy would send Golden packing.  Espinosa was one of the chip leaders before that pot took place, and now finds himself one of the top five stacks in the room (75,000).

Just a min-cash in the event would likely be Espinosa's largest score to date, as he has four recorded results on Hendon Mob, with the largest coming back in 2016 ($130 No Limit Hold'em event at Coconut Creek).  Considering the posted tournament history for Eddy, a deep run in this tournament would likely be a career highlight.  

Eddy Espinosa - 75,000 (150bb)
