Charlie Sewell Still Running Good

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

During the recent twenty-minute break a man walked up to report that he now sits with 42,000 chips. We recognized the player from a few previous events this year and it turned out to be Charlie Sewell of Edmond, Oklahoma.

We first encountered Sewell during Event # 3, the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em tournament, in which he finished in 277th place and earned $2,444 for his efforts. The field in that event topped out at 4,178 runners, meaning Sewell has experience navigating his way through the minefield of the WSOP's largest events.

Sewell was also the one-time chip leader during Event # 12, the Triple Chance No-Limit Hold’em tournament, and according to him, he is "running really good" so far this summer. Now that we know Sewell is in attendance today, we will be sure to check back in to see if he continues running good in this Senior's Championship.
