Below you will see a handful of the players in the first flight of the $300,000 Guaranteed event. A few of them are on the quest to ad to their Remington collection. Thu Nguyen is back after successfully defending his title in the $570 Heads-Up Event. We also spotted Matt Schultz, who took down two Remington's last year in No-Limit Hold'em Events, though he fancies himself as more of a Mixed Game player. Check below for some other photos from today's action.

On the Bubble in the 2-7 Event

Michael Chow has busted in seventh, meaning we are on the money bubble. Kane Kalas appears to be the chip leader, and there aren't any severe short stacks at the moment, which means the bubble could drag for a while.

Erika Weinstein With Huge Lead In Triple Stack

We are down to just 27 players left, and Erika Weinstein has been on a tear recently. She strung together a series of huge pots to get up to 3.1 million. At the moment, no one else has over two million. Other notable stacks from the final three tables include Peter Hengsakul (970,000), Massoud Eskandari (800,000), and Adam Volen (670,000).

Player Profile: Patrick Chan, Winner of the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Event

$

For a player his age, Patrick Chan has seen a lot at the poker table. Usually a cash game grinder, Patrick Chan delved into tournaments a couple of years ago, and he lived out the dream of poker players around the world two years ago when he final tabled the WSOP Main Event. He finished in ninth place, and for some, it would make it tough to get motivated to play for much smaller stakes after. Chan is not one of those players though.

"I just have a love of the game and I just randomly like to play tournament poker nowadays. Since I final tabled the Main Event I don't play all the events but I play some of them when there's a series going in LA, especially the LAPC. I go to East Coast and play there too. I just love poker."

Yesterday, Chan booked the first live win of his young career, when he topped a field of 104 players in the $1,100 No-Limit Event. In the end, a three way chop saw Chan take home over $26,000, and the Remington Trophy.

"I'm feeling great this is my first live win and looking forward to more. It's a great start to the series for me and I'm looking forward to playing more events."



Chan came into the final table as the chip leader, and thanks to being on the right side of a couple of coolers, Chan was able to build up a monster stack. With five players left, Chan had half the chips in play, and he simply cruised from there.

"Oh man I got Aces vs. Ace-King against Kane (Kalas) and I got Kings against Queens against Nick (Grippo). Standard coolers. I ran pretty well for sure."

After building up that stack, Chan was content to sit back and let the hands come to him, rather than put relentless and potentially reckless pressure on the smaller stacks. When the chop allowed him to get just $5,000 less than first place three handed, it was an easy yes for Chan, who is looking forward to a few other events here at the LAPC after this big win.

"I'm really looking forward to the Main Event, the $1,100 Million Guaranteed Event, and probably the $570 tomorrow. Those are probably the best ones the best value tournaments."

Stay tuned to the coverage here at lapcnews.com to see if Chan is able to add to his already impressive tournament poker resume. Congratulations again to Patrick on his victory!

The first of three flights in this massive $300,000 Guaranteed Event drew 209 players, and considering this should be the smallest of the three, we are well on our way to smashing another big guarantee. The final 27 players will be cashing tonight, with the top 17 moving on to the finals on Sunday. Good luck players!

1-17. Day 2

Erika Weinstein Still Leads with Two Tables Left

$

As the title indicates, Erika Weinstein is still in the lead with 18 players left, but her lead has certainly taken a hit since our last update. She is down to 2.15 million, thanks in some part to a double up that Massoud Eskandari scored off of her. Eskandari is up to 750,000. Other notables still alive and well are Adam Volen (1.85 million) and Peter Hengsakul (1.05 million).

When we get down to 10 players, we will grab photos and chip stacks for all of them, and start providing final table elimination posts.

Heads up in the 2-7 Event

After playing three handed for about three hours, we are finally heads up after Abdel Hamid busted out. Kane Kalas has the chip lead with 350,000, while Hanh Tran has 250,000. It looks like the two players are going to the end without a chop.

We are just about to get to the final table of the Triple Stack, but we will be sure to post when this event wraps up.

Hanh Tran started the heads-up battle with Kane Kalas at a slight chip disadvantage, but he made quick work of Kalas, winning the tournament in just a few hands. For his efforts, Tran will take home $16,400 and the Remington Trophy, while Kalas will have to settle for $10,000 at his second final table in a row.

Tomorrow we will post a player profile on Hanh Tran, so be sure to keep an eye out for that!
