Abbey Daniels

The Event 12 field is close to crossing into triple-digit territory at the start of the second level, a nice pace early in the tournament.

We found a few familiar faces in the game early including Abbey Daniels making her first appearance. She has a victory here from 2012 when she took down a WPT Regional event but Daniel’s biggest cash came when she finished fourth in the 2011 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown televised final table.

Coco Poker Open Leaderboard front-runner Rafael Indriago is also back looking to extend his lead. He already owns one title along with a second and eight place finish this series. He’s joined SHRP regular Alan Dobrow on his left who is still looking for his first SHRP title.
