$150 NLH $50,000 GTD (Flight 1E): Featured Players Experiencing A Little "Blog Run Good"

$150 No Limit Hold'em
$50,000 GTD
Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/800)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 97

Kristopher Villanueva (North Olmstead, OH) has continued to trend in the right direction since being featured on the blog, along with both Ian Cohen, and Craig Witz.

There is a select group of players (very superstitious players) that believe there is such thing as a "blog curse."  They are featured on the blog for one reason or another (notables, winning big hand, possible chip leader), and immediately afterwards, lose a big pot (or a significant portion of their stack).  While we all know there is no such thing as a "blog curse," it's a wonder players don't speak of the "blog run good."

Of the four players to have been featured in today's coverage, three of them are currently holding top five stacks, led by Kristopher Villanueva (who has close to 170,000).  Ian Cohen has eclipsed the century mark, and Craig Witz is on his way to doing the same thing.

Level 8 just started moments ago, and will be the final level with open registration.  There will be a (10) minute break at it's conclusion, and once the cards are in the air for Level 9, open registration for Flight 1E will be closed.  Official numbers from the flight will then be posted, followed by our second look at updated chip counts from the field.
