$200 NLH $100,000 GTD (Day 2): Al Gomez Making Early Moves, More Than Doubles Day 2 Starting Stack

$200 No Limit Hold'em
$100,000 Guaranteed
Level 18 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/500)
Total Entries: 1,252
Players Remaining: 132

Al Gomez (Miami, FL) started the day of strong, doubling his Day 2 starting stack over the first third minutes of play.

Over the course of the first level of the day, we saw a lot of movement both directions, but none more than that of Al Gomez (Miami, FL).  Gomez, who started the day with 197,000, spent Level 17 doubling that stack.  As the clock transitioned to Level 18, Gomez sat with 420,000 in front of him, which puts him in the top ten of the remaining field.  Al has just short of $500,000 in career tournament earnings, including a win in the $175 No Limit Hold' event during the most recent Isle Classic (December).  He earned $13,350 for first place money, in what was a six-way deal that wrapped up the tournament.   

The experience that Gomez has in this particular spot is rally invaluable, and it will be interesting to see what he does with this early fortune.

Al Gomez - 420,000 (70bb)
