Event #9 | $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 6 (Blinds 300/500/500)
Total Flight 1B Entries: 41
 |
| It's been two years since Michael Beasley's (Hollywood, FL) last five-figure cash, which happened to come during the $1,500 NLH Main Event of the 2016 FSPC. |
Play has just entered Level 6, which will be followed the player's dinner break, splitting up the flight (basically) in half. The smaller sized flight hasn't allowed for many exceptionally large chip stacks to emerge, but there is one player already above the century mark. Mike Beasley (Hollywood, FL) had a strong start to the day, flopping a set against Sheldon Gross's two-pair, and doubling up in Level 3. Beasley has trended in the right direction since then, and starts this level with just over 100,000.
Beasley has been around the tournament community for over thirteen years, and has an impressive resume to show for it. Mike has recorded (121) results over that span, with combined earnings that are just over $1,477,000. His highlighting score came back in 2010, when he finished runner-up to Vanessa Selbst in the NAPT $5,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event at Mohegan Sun (Connecticut). The result was worth $428,000, and helped propel Mike's poker career to a new level.
