Kurt Lichtman

Level 9 is underway and the field is locked in with an unofficial 600 entries showing on the board. We are waiting for the accounting to be complete to know exactly where the final number landed.

We found a couple of big stacks while they were gone and Kurt Lichtman had the biggest. He was sitting with 150,600 to lead Flight C after four levels. Maurice Hawkins was in third with 128,500 but found another jump on the first hand back.

A player put his 24,500 in the middle against the 14-time WSOP Circuit with KdTh but Hawkins was best with AcJc. That stack plus the blinds pushed him up to 155,500 for the lead.

Sitting between them before the hand was Sean Kersey with 148,200.
