Ron Levy is having a great day in the back of the Poker Room and leads the field heading towards the second break. He is up to 177,500 for a clear lead and trying for a unique accomplishment.

There are only a handful of players who have won tournaments at the three Seminole properties with poker in Florida. Levy won the $300 No Limit Hold’em tournament in Tampa and went home with the $365 Turbo WSOP Circuit ring in Hollywood. The only title missing is the Coco trophy and this would be a good one to get.

With the board out to the turn and reading , Michael Goldfarb bet 12,000 with 12,000 behind and Mike Laufer raised to 26,000 from the button. Goldfarb would have to call at risk and he took a minute to think about it before he called.

Goldfarb:
Laufer:

Goldfarb flopped top pair but he was crushed but Laufer’s middle set. The board finished with the turn and river to send Goldfarb out.

Laufer made some noise in November when he won the opening event of the Rock N Roll Poker Open in Hollywood, the state’s largest poker field ever at 6,196 entries. He will be trying to win his first WPT in a few weeks when he plays the WPT Poker Showdown Championship final table in Las Vegas.

We’re seeing a lot of new faces in the RunGood Main Event this morning and one of the most accomplished WPT players joined the field.

Eric Afriat is one of only a half dozen players to put their name on the WPT Champions three (or more) times and he jumped in the action this morning. He won the 2014 WPT Poker Showdown Championship in Hollywood then followed that up with titles at the Borgata and Fallsview. Afriat came close to another one when he finished second to James Carroll at the 2019 WPT Poker Showdown Championship final table.
