CPPT Main Event (Flight A)
Level 12 (600/1,200/200)Total Entrants: 188
Players Remaining: 67
Chip Average: 85,000
Todd Mitchell (Wilton, CT) |
We're heading into the final level of Flight A and while there are a few big stacks in the room, Todd Mitchell (Wilton, CT) looks like he's poised to be the clubhouse leader from this first starting flight as he's currently playing close to 275,000 chips.
While we haven't seen Mitchell play many "big" pots, he's clearly been chipping up throughout the day and as we stood and watched his table for an orbit or so, he was involved in nearly every hand, raising and splashing around in the middle of it all clearly utilizing a "lose" strategy of play.
It's seemed to work for him thus far and it seems like it has in the past also as Mitchell has over 20 rated results from Foxwoods major tournaments totaling close to $60,000 in live tournament earnings.
His biggest score came in a Foxwoods Championship event in 2012 when he finished 5th in the Mega Stack Challenge XXIII Main Event, earnings just over $20,000.
He's set himself up for another deep championship run here in the Card Player Poker Tour Main Event as he looks like he'll end this starting flight with one of the bigger stacks going into tomorrow's Day 2.
