Saturday, August 28th: David Albertson Is Currently On Another Level, Seeing Success In Seemingly Every Event He Enters!

ICYMI: In poker, when a player is running good, it's almost like being "in the zone" as a professional athlete.  Every move seems to be the right one, and each decision is beneficial towards deep runs and big scores.  Just a few days after chopping the opening event of the RunGood series (at Coconut Creek), David Albertson hopped over the to Isle Casino Pompano Park, and won the $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) outright.  Let's paint an even better picture, because Albertson spent the day in the opening flight of the RunGood Main Event, and bagged the chip lead! 

Last night's tournament attracted a field of (88) entries, and have an official prize pool of $10,736.  The top eleven players would reach the money, with action playing down to an outright winner (as mentioned above).  Albertson took home $3,461 in the deal, and earned the ever-important 28.37 leaderboard points.  The result now puts him in the hunt for the WSOP Main Event seat, but has a tall task ahead of him, considering that there are only a few events remaining in the month.  Official results from last night's action are listed below:

1. David Albertson (Coral Springs, FL) $3,461
