Event 15 (Day 1B): Cunningham Eclipses 100,000

Level 11 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Day 1B Entries: 67
Day 1B Players Remaining: 20
Chip Average: 50,000

As players begin the second to last level of the night, a new name has jumped to the top of the leaderboard.  Trenton Cunningham (Baltimore, MD) is one of the first players to eclipse the 100,000 mark, and goes into Level 12 with 115,000.  Cunningham has $7,500 in career tournament earnings, with his largest cash to date a $2,000 win during a Parx $200 NLH Survivor event.  Half of his recorded results are final table finishes, but none have come here at Live!.

As this post was being published, Nicholas Verderamo eliminated Christian Harder and chipped up to 120,000.  With that elimination and a quick flurry that followed, play is now down to two tables, with the updated lineup to be posted momentarily.
