Championship (Day 1A): Christensen Jumps Up Early

$2,500 Coco Poker Open Championship
Level 3: 75/150/25 Ante

Flight 1A hit 60 entrants during the break and we found the biggest stack in the room. Local grinder Erik Christensen had a good run over the first two levels to push his 25,000 starting stack over 80,000. Sitting in the third level with 543 big blinds, a nice luxury.

There’s still plenty of time to catch Christensen as more top players jump into action. There are four levels left to register or re-enter plus the 60-minute dinner break.

For those looking to get in the Championship on the cheap, there are two Championship Qualifiers running this evening. One at 7pm with 10 seats guaranteed and another at 9pm with another 3 seats guaranteed.
