Event 1 (Day 1A): Third Of The Field Gone

Level 7 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Day 1A Entries: 158

Sophia Pappas

With tournament supervisors breaking some of the outer tables, only (10) active tables housing 99 players.  With the registration closed, the chip average can now be calculated (it sits at 24,000).

Sophia Pappas may have had future starting flights in mind, as she sat with less than (15) big blinds in front of her.  Pappas would then double up as her aces held against pocket fives, bringing her back above the starting stack.  Only moments later she would end up sending home that same opponent, as she would race well with A♣ K♥ against 2♠ 2♣.  Sophia is now over 40,000, and has shifted her thoughts to bagging this flight.
