$150 NLH $50,000 GTD (Flight 1E): Everyone Wants To "Run Like Pedro"

$150 No Limit Hold'em

$50,000 GTD

Level 4 (Blinds 200/300/300)

Total Flight 1E Entries: 70

Pedro Palacio (Coconut Creek, FL) is just one of many notables in today's Flight 1E field, hoping to bag chips this afternoon, and get a well deserved day off.

Pedro Palacio (Coconut Creek, FL) is another notable in today's field, that likes to frequent all of the poker rooms in the South Florida area.  While he dabbles in cash games, his specialty is tournaments, a poker platform that he's seen a lot of success.  Palacio has over $400,000 in lifetime tournament earnings, all won in the past five years (he recorded his first result in 2014).  A little but of run good is needed for any poker player to be successful, and Pedro has managed to experience the better side of variance in some critical spots over his years.  It gives other players the impression that he's "lucky," which is just a tiny part of his game.  Pedro is a student of the game (who has put in tons of hours), and can only smile and laugh, when others say that they want to "run like Pedro."

Part of "running like Pedro" is putting yourself in low variance/high equity spots, which he's no stranger to doing...and hopes to do this afternoon.   Palacio headlines the second look at notables in the crowd, joining the likes of:

Arie Ben-Mayor

Garry Fitzgerald

Harry Eisenberg

Donald Williams

Michael Boykin

Stanton Drazen

Jeffrey Goodman

Lesley Cutler

Players will be taking their first break of the day at the end of this level, returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 200/400/400.  Once the cards are back in the air, we will take a first look at updated chip counts from the field.
