Jeff Kessler

The Seniors Event reached the first break of their day and tournament staff sent them away from a 15-minute breather. The entry count is just shy of 150 and they are having a good time on the other side of the Grand Ballroom.

Jeff Kessler had the best time of them over the first four levels and the 2013 RRPO Seniors champ leads the field early with 84,200.

Flight A Entries:  405

Norman Guigui

Cards are back in the air after the 15-minute break and the entry count jumped over 400 while they were gone. There’s a long way to go but it’s looking like the $1,000,000 guarantee is a lock.

There were no massive stacks found during the break, and no one ramped up over 100K, but there were a couple of notables. Norman Guigui leads the field with 81,400 from his 20K starting stack followed by Luis Tobo with 79,600.
