$140 NLH "Bankroll Builder" (Flight 1E): After A "Kickstart" To The Year, Linda Lipkins Looking To Pad The Bankroll

"Bankroll Builder"
$140 No Limit Hold'em
$75,000 GTD

Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/800)

Total Flight 1E Entries: 108

Linda Lipkins (Boca Raton, FL) is coming off a nice run in the "Isle New Year Kickstart," and has the $100,000 mark (lifetime earnings) in sight.

In our last post, we noted Steven Lipkins as one of the notables in the Flight 1E field...and if Steven is in the field, his wife Linda Lipkins is usually there as well.  Sure enough, Linda was spotted during the last lap taken around the field.  She is coming off a nice run in the "Isle New Year Kickstart," finishing in 45th place, and earning $715.  Her lifetime earnings are now up to $94,191, with a final table finish in this tournament, potentially helping her eclipse the $100,000 mark.  Lipkins career best score came back in the summer of 2015, when she finished runner-up during a $600 No Limit Hold'em event at the Venetian ($200,000 GTD).  The second place finish was worth $45,153, and still stands as her only five-figure score.  

Linda tops the second list of notables in the field, which continues to grow larger, even with less than (30) minutes left to register:

Zaki Lichaa

Fernando Pages

Robert Bass

Harold Pawluk

Francois Gagne

Thomas Gari

Calixto Rodriguez

Jeffrey Sutherland

Eric Lerner

Donald Burns

Players will be taking their first break of the day at the end of this level, at which point registration will be closed for Flight 1E.  Once action resumes in Level 9, we will bring you the official numbers from the tournament's fifth starting flight.
