Plenty Of Players Looking For Back-To-Back Card Player Poker Tour Scores

Event 5
Level 4 (100/200/25)
Total Entries: 133

Seunghwan Lee (Albertson, NY)

With close to three full levels remaining in the late registration/re-entry period here in Event 5, we expect to see plenty of more "notables" join us before the field is "frozen", but there are still plenty of players that we recognize in the early Event 5 field, including plenty of players looking to earn their second score of the Card Player Poker Tour series.

Chris Leong, who managed a top 15 finish as he attempted to defend his Event 1 title from last year, is in the field as well as Ching Poon, who won his first major title taking down the CPPT Event 2 title on Sunday.

Those two players have been featured on the blog a few times over the last few days, but another player that hasn't gotten much blog play that is looking for repeat scores is Seunghwan Lee (Albertson, NY).

Lee made the final two tables of this weekends opening event and earned himself his second big Foxwoods score of 2015, after winning the Foxwoods New Year's Day Special NLH event for just over $21,000.

That New Year's Day result would move Lee above the $200,000 mark in terms of career live earnings and be his first outright tournament victory, after coming close a few times before, including two podium finishes at the Borgata in 2011, when he finished 3rd in a Winter Poker Open event for $60,000 and then 2nd in a spring event for $70,000.

Seunghwan Lee, much like the aforementioned Stanley Lee, will look to continue a good start to 2015 and will be a player to watch throughout this event and the rest of the CPPT series.
