Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Sports Radio host Ben Mintz has taken his seat in Day 1a and is playing against type as per his radio show, Mixin' it up with Mintz. Mintz has limped in to a few pots and folded the flop, but has mostly stayed out of the way in the early going. He has 19,400 of his original 20,000 as the closing seconds of Level 1 tick away.

Mintz is no stranger to RunGood Events or poker tournaments in general. With $604,471 in lifetime live tournament winnings, including a 75th-place finish in the 2011 WSOP Main Event and a WSOP Circuit Ring in 2012, Mintz played poker professionally for a number of years but left the life of a grinder to complete his education. Mintz graduated Ole Miss with a degree in managerial finance in August of 2015. It only took a few months for him to learn that working in finance was a boring existence, though, and Mintz debuted a sports-talk radio program December 14th, 2015.
