Level 6: 300/600/75 Ante

Today’s field has gone international with the inclusion of Sofia Lövgren in the game. We have no actual proof, but we believe she is the first Swede in the Event 1 field.

Lövgren immediately took a little good-natured needling about her youthful appearance but that might work in her favor. She is dangerous and has tournament cashes in eight different countries including seven in WSOP events. Lövgren also has two WPT cashes including last week when she was the big chip leader at the WPT Borgata Poker Open deep on Day 2.

She helped push the entrant count over 180 with less than two hours to get involved.

Level 5: 200/400/50 Ante

During the break, Flight 1E became the biggest flight so far in Event 1 with 162 entrants in the game as Level 5 gets underway.

Dan Weitzenkorn has a nice lead at the first break and it seems he got there in fun fashion. He scored an early knockout when his flopped gutshot/flush draw got there on a river to knock out a player with flopped two pair. The KO almost sent a chair flying during the quick exit.

Weitzenkorn has one career cash and it came earlier this year during the Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open.

Top and notable counts:

Dan Weitzenkorn – 61,275 (153 bb)
Iman Dan – 48,775 (122 bb)
Adewale Adeyemi – 43,124 (108 bb)
Rafael Marcondes – 42,325 (106 bb)
Jose Parra – 29,850 (75 bb)
Luis Santoni – 22,075 (55 bb)
Tracey Gelb – 21,100 (53 bb)
Elliott Zaydman – 18,625 (47 bb)
Jacquelyn Scott – 12,225 (31 bb)

Level 4: 100/200/25 Ante

Players are heading off on a 15-minute break with 145 entrants showing on the information board. That leaves them just shy of topping the biggest flight so far, we had 152 for the Thursday evening session, and three hours remaining to register.

We’ll take a look at the early leaders and find some big stacks while they’re away.

Level 4: 100/200/25 Ante

It seems Saturday afternoon is a good time to play some poker. Flight 1E is already working itself up to be the biggest flight of the tournament and they’re still waiting on their first break.

There are 135 entrants in the game at the start of Level 4 and more coming in the door.

Level 3: 75/150

We don’t get very many WSOP bracelet winners in the earlier events of the series but we have one today. Jacquelyn Scott had cashes all over the state of Florida and added Nevada to the list this summer.

She opened her Vegas summer by cashing in the WPT500 event and that was a small start. A month later she earned the first WSOP cash of her career and it just happened to be the biggest payout in the tournament. She outlasted 794 other players to win the WSOP Ladies Championship in front of a lot of friends from South Florida.

She’s with us today as the entrant count hit triple digits faster than any of the previous flights.

Level 2: 50/100

TJ Shulman is back in the Coco Poker Open after misfiring on his previous bullet. He won’t have an easy time with a tough early table that includes Luis Santoni (first cash of the series with fifth in Event 2 PLO) and Francis Margaglione.

Shulman has over $370,000 in career earnings including a $325 Bounty event title here during the WPT Regional Series.
