$200 NLH $100,000 GTD (Flight 1C): Ward Repping The Celtics Strong, Hoping To Bypass A Potential Game 7

$200 No Limit Hold'em
$100,000 Guaranteed
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 75


For David Ward (Miami, FL), it's imperative that he bags chips during this flight, because he definitely wants to make it home for Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

As the Flight 1C field grows, there is one player that stands out amongst the crowd, as the all green attire can be seen across the room.  David Ward (Miami, FL) is a die-hard Boston sports fan, and is hoping to bag up some chips in today's flight, assuring himself the time to get home for tonight's Game 6 (between the Celtics and Cavs).  Ward usually sports the Celtics gear regardless of the time of year, but today's outfit is showing full support of his team, which is only one win away from the NBA Finals.  

While David's love for the Celtics is strong, so to is his affinity for tournament poker, as he's amassed lifetime earnings over $112,000.  After a year (2017) with over $10,000 in earnings, Ward has yet to record a tournament cash in 2018, but looks to try and change that over the course of the next few days.  When he sat down to his new table moments ago, Ward said that he "had just tripled up with aces," so it seems as if things are off to a good start today.

David headlines the first look at notables in the field, a group that is so large this afternoon, we need to split the list into two parts:

Alan Saltzman
Glenn Popkin
Elias Nassif
Arnold Cohen
Calixto Rodriguez
Frank Traino
David Poces
Craig Witz
Mauricio Duarte
Nancy Birnbaum
Kenneth Bruno
Allan Bieler
