CPPT Event #1 (Flight 1D): More Transplants From The Northeast Finding Their Way To The Isle

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)

Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 4 (Blinds 200/300/300)
Total Flight 1D Entries: 75

Richard DeVivo (Lake Worth, FL) is still looking to find his stride down here in Florida, after making a name for himself in the Northeast poker community. 

Yesterday it was Fritz Stoner...today there is another Northeast transplant in the field, as Richard DeVivo makes his was to the Isle Casino Pompano Park for the first time.  Richard was a staple figure at many of the series at both Borgata (Atlantic City) and Parx (Bensalem, PA), amassing a nice tournament resume while he was there.  From 2015 to 2016, Richard won a combined $100,000 from tournaments, but his breakout score came in 2014.  DeVivo won a $500 No Limit Hold'em event during the Borgata Summer Poker Open, which saw him earn just over $20,800.  

Since moving to Florida, Richard has cashed in one event, which was a $150 No Limit Hold'em (daily) at Seminole Hard Rock (11th place for $538).  He's still searching for his first Isle Poker tournament cash, which he hopes comes during this opening event of the Card Player Poker Tour.  Richard joins some other notables in this Flight 1C field, including:

Tom Gity

Scott Levitt

Blaine McRae

Michael Newman

Marc Duquette

Sergio Amato

Ryan Miller

Rami Ezra

Players will be on their first break of the day at the end of this level, returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 200/400/400.
