Event 15 was close to doubling the $100,000 Guarantee during the first break and it went over shortly after they returned. It’s a busy day in the ballroom and meeting room.

David Levi leads with more than 40,000 at the start of Level 5 but the field is stacked with tough players trying to run him down. His lead is good for now and he has over 200 big blinds to work.

Levi has amassed more than $3.6 million in career tournament earnings. An impressive number made even more so when you realize his biggest cash is $229,000. Levi has dozens of tournament wins including a Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open title from 2015.
