ICYMI: The second opening day of Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Florida State Poker Championship $500,000 GTD) headlined yesterday's schedule, and definitely didn't disappoint. We saw the return of numerous notable players, a new overall chip leader, and the appearance of Vanessa Rousso and Scott Nguyen. Vanessa showed up early in the day, sitting down to a poker table for the first time in over a year (after graduating law school and studying for the bar). After peaking over 100,000 after dinner break, Vanessa would see her stack slip, and would eventually be eliminated during Level 11. Scotty chose to show up later in the day, which ended up working out for him, as he bagged 93,000 for Monday's Day 2 (12:00pm). Both players will be back in the poker room this afternoon, as they have a "meet and greet" scheduled from 12:30pm-1:30pm. Anyone interested in getting an autograph or picture from the pair, can arrive to the poker room during that time period to do so.
Day 1B would close with (86) entries, of which (15) players were able to bag chips for Monday's Day 2. The overall prize pool sits at $189,120, with two more flights left to be played. Luis Zedan bagged the chip lead (564,500), which also happens to be the top overall number, leading the (39) players to have booked tickets to Day 2. Rounding out the top five Day 1B stacks were:
Luis Zedan - 564,500
Raj Vohra - 428,000
David Coughlin - 355,000
Brian Wilson - 187,500
Dmitry Agrachov - 165,000
Event #14 continues this afternoon, with Day 1C getting underway at 2:00pm, as the numbers are expected to pick up. Live blogged coverage will be available throughout the afternoon/evening, and will continue through the bagging process.
