South Floridians WSOP update for Friday

Well, looks like we have at least 14 South Floridians who will finish in the money at the World Series of Poker. The field is down to about 400.

Still alive are:
Kevin Schaffel, Weston
William Soffin, Boca Raton
Tracy Scala, Ocean Ridge
Bob Cook, Boca Raton
Scott Zakheim, Davie
Alan Gold (or is it Gould? the WSOP has it two ways), Plantation
Doron Malinasky, Hollywood
Joshua Freeman, Plantation
Frank Russo, Pompano Beach
Jason McCarty, Coconut Creek

Four players finished in the money last night:
Ben Sprengers, Plantation, 481, $25,090
Benjamin Zamani, Boca Raton, 601st, $23,160
Vanessa Rousso (listed as Vegas, but from Wellington), 625, $21,230
Joe Conti, Boynton Beach, 666th, $21,230

Talk about hanging in there... The WSOP pays the first 666 places. So Conti, who won his seat via a tournament at Palm Beach Kennel Club, hung in there, and hung in there, despite being short-stacked. But still cashed. Congrats, Mojo.
