Daniel Lobel (Katonah, NY)

During yesterday's play around the bubble, there were three players looking to make their second consecutive Card Player Poker Tour scores, as Nick Palma, Chris Leong and Daniel Lobel had all cashed in the $100,000 GTD opening event of the series.

Leong would unfortunately bubble Event 5, but Palma and Lobel would make the money, with Palma making the Final Table, and both are looking strong to make a push towards their third straight CPPT cash, especially Lobel who is playing close to 80,000 chips with just under an hour left to play in this opening Event 7 flight.

Lobel has managed to accumulate an above average stack despite being stuck at a tough "feature" table that includes Foxwoods and poker champions Ryan Eriquezzo, Raj Patel, Eric Siegel, as well as James Freebody, who Final Tabled yesterday's event.

He's obviously continued the solid play we've seen from him earlier in the series despite this tough table draw, as Lobel has already made two of the biggest cashes in his tournament career this series and he could potentially be making Card Player Poker Tour history as he looks to collect his third straight cash, something that will be made easier with a continued push and a strong Flight A finish.

The other players at that "feature" table are also well stacked as Eriquezzo holds just under 70,000, Freebody holds just under 100,000 and Siegel and Patel are working near the chip average.
