CPPT Event #1 (Flight 1D): Richard Kirsch Decides To Splash Around, Jumps In As Registration Window Closes

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)
Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 7 (Blinds 300/600/600)
Total Flight 1D Entries: 124


2018 has been a solid tournament year for Richard Kirsch (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), who fell one spot short of a US Poker Open title, but earned $128,000 for his efforts.

The late entries continue to pile in, with some new faces joining the action for the first time this event.  Richard Kirsch (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) just sat down at Table 2, looking to put himself in position for his first post-WSOP tournament cash.  Right before the WSOP started, Kirsch won a $360 No Limit Hold'em single-day event here at the Isle, taking home $8,580 in a heads-up deal.  Richard would then go on to cash in five events during the WSOP, which were worth a combined $32,000.  Since returning from Las Vegas, Kirsch's focus has been primarily on cash-game action, but he took some time out this afternoon to try and bag chips for Monday's Day 2.  Some other "fashionably late" arrivals to the Flight 1D field are listed below:

Evan Teitelbaum
Tony Ruberto
Vito Polera
Chad Millward
Kevin Chan
Paul Kern
Richard Griffis
Manelic Minaya
Blake Robbins
Pedro Palacio
