| Matthew Bretzfield (Kings Park, NY) no longer needs any introduction, as he's become somewhat of a poker "celebrity" here in South Florida. |
If you know anything about the South Florida poker community, then you're aware that the most recent entry to the Flight 1E field has been the talk of the town. Matthew Bretzfield (Kings Park, FL) came to Florida earlier this February, and while things got started slowly for the ex-New Yorker, he's been on a run that is bordering on inconceivable.
In the past three months, Bretzfield has earned over $150,000 in tournaments, with two title wins here at the Isle. After earning entry into the $5,250 SHRPO Main Event (via winning a daily tournament there), Bretzfield would reach the final table, eventually earning himself $62,415. Then, when the Card Player Poker Tour came to the Isle, he'd continue the amazing run. Taking second place in Event #1 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD) for $22,473, and the winning then $1,100 No Limit Hold'em CPPT Main Event the following week ($35,443). And if that wasn't enough, Matthew just took first place in a chop the Isle Open Event #1 (last week), taking home $16,932.
The man is kind of like the "mayor" of each poker room he walks in now, with people even wanting to take pictures with him!!! He may not be known worldwide, but he's definitely become a poker "celebrity" in this community.
