Matt Bretzfield
Leading the way going into day 3 of the tournament is the red-hot Matt Bretzfield, who bagged up an impressive 2,785,000. The New York-native is coming off of a pair of great runs in South Florida this month. After finishing tenth in the $5,000 buy-in Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open main event for $62,415, Bretzfield traveled to Pompano Park for the opening event of this CPPT series. He ended up getting second place, banking another $22,374.
AJ Gambino
Sitting in second place is AJ Gambino with 1,615,000. Gambino has put together quite a tournament resume himself, including a six-figure score in Las Vegas at the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza series.
Gambino knocked out several players to start the day and build a big stack. He then took a huge chunk of out fellow big stack Fernando Halac by making two pair with 3-2, and busted Scott Baumstein when his A-K outran pocket jacks.
Ernie Bush
Notables who finished in the money included Steve Karp (34th), Joey Couden (32nd), Phillip Hui (31st), Michael Merisier (25th), Raj Vohra (22nd), Scott Baumstein (17th), and Brian Hastings (15th).
