Level 5 (100/200/25)
Total Entries: 158
We've seen a slight decrease in the pace of entrants here through the first break of the day, but we are still trending upwards, with over 15 tables running and a few more waiting to house late arriving and re-entering players.
Many of those tables are filled with Foxwoods "regulars", with some players being seen for the first time through the Card Player Poker Tour series here in Event 7.
Johnny Rodrigues, Chris Leong, Je Wook Oh, Jake Vo, Robert Campion, Mark Perry and Daniel Lobel are all scattered throughout the tournament area, but the biggest name to make his first appearance of the series is the defending champion of this event, Joseph Nelligan.
Nelligan earned the biggest score of his tournament career last year in this exact event, besting a field of close to 400 players to take home the title and close to $30,000.
He's here to defend his title today and will certainly be a player to watch throughout this event.
We'll continue to bring you updates from the field as we continue to play through the early levels of $75,000 GTD Event 7 Flight A.
Just sat down at the CPPT $400 @FoxwoodsPoker Hoping to run nearly as good as last year. #LetsJustWin
