$150 NLH $50,000 GTD (Flight 1C): After Coming Within Arms Length Of A Title, Gary Fitzgerald Looking To Make Another Deep Run

$150 No Limit Hold'em

$50,000 GTD

Level 12 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/2,000)

Total Flight 1C Entries: 74
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 22

Gary Fitzgerald (Miami, FL) is trying continue his run good, just like Zachary Mullennix did, after beating him heads-up to win the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) earlier this month.

As the old adage says, "It's not how you start, but how you finish."  Just two weeks ago, Gary Fitzgerald came into Day 2 of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) 30th in chips, of the (34) total players that returned.  One would almost write his stack off (compared to the rest), and consider making the money a good run for Fitzgerald.  He would end up surpassing all expectations, finding himself heads-up against Zachary Mullennix, just one elimination away from winning the event (and $15,515).  His dream run would end with a second place finish, which happened to be his largest ever tournament cash ($9,770).

While it's a great story to tell, Fitzgerald is trying to better his position for Day 2 of this event, and looks to be doing a good job.  He currently the chip leader as Level 12 begins, with players heading on their final break in less than thirty minutes.  Once play resumes, we will take a final look at updated chip counts from the Flight 1C field.
