Two Levels Left In Flight A

CPPT Main Event (Flight A)
Level 11 (500/1,000/100)
Total Entrants: 188
Players Remaining: 91
Chip Average: 60,000
Pat Donaghy (Valley Stream, NY)
The ninety or so players remaining in Flight A of the $300,000 GTD Card Player Poker Tour Main Event have just entered Level 11, meaning they are just two full levels away from the end of their Day 1 session.

We expect to see close to 60 or so players advance through this starting flight as players are extremely deep and the blinds won't get to a "sizable" amount to force the action until much later in Day 2.

One player who is playing in his first Championship event is Pat Donaghy (Valley Stream, NY) who, despite a super tough table draw with some big time Foxwoods regulars, has held his own and is currently playing an above average stack with just under a half hour left in this flight.

Donaghy doesn't have many results on his poker resume, but he does have a 4th place finish from a 2009 Foxwoods Poker Classic event in which he made $9,500, easily the biggest score of his tournament career.

He'll be a player to watch throughout the rest of this flight and beyond as he looks to make a breakthrough score here in the CPPT Main Event and the remaining players try to finish strong to advance to tomorrow's Day 2.
