Level 4: 150/300
Flight C Players: 85

David Maslowski is in a different world than the rest of the competition early in Flight C of the Coco Poker Open $250,000 guarantee. He’s turned his 16,000 starting chips into nearly 80,000 and holds a better than two-to-one advantage over the rest of the field.

There’s a long way to go, but his stack is already better than five of the 16 advancers from yesterday’s opening flights.

Here’s a look at some of the other counts following the break:

David Maslowski – 79,900
David Wolfe – 39,475
Marco Oliveira – 35,675
Yves Fequiere – 33,525
Leonard St. Germain – 27,300
Rob Kessler – 16,000
Marsha Wolak – 6,500

Level 3: 75/150
Flight C Players: 62

Marsh Wolak has been around all week and started out with a bang following a 4th-place finish in the Championship good for a $70,000 score. Howard Mash, meanwhile, is a past Coco Poker Open Champion and narrowly missed back-to-back titleS when he finished runner-up in the Heads-Up event just a few days ago.

Ramon Miguel and Manuel Soltero are regulars on the South Florida felt. While Soltero owns a Coconut Creek victory, Ramon Miguel is stills searching for his. He did finish 3rd in the Everglades Poker Open $350 for $13,941 just a couple weeks ago though.
