Henry Lu can only laugh as he’s the first player over the 2,000,000 chip mark in this Fall Poker Open Championship.
The remaining field as just returned from their third break of the day and while there have been players with some big stacks over the course of this Day 3 session, we’ve yet to see a player in this FPO Championship break the 2,000,000 chip mark. After recording a strong last level and the elimination of Giuseppe Pizzolato, Henry Lu is the first player to eclipse that threshold.
The Brooklynite is not foreign to ‘championship’ events, as he has nearly $1,000,000 in career earnings, as well as a WSOP bracelet to his credit. That WSOP win came in 2012 and earned him his first six-figure cash. His most recent six-figure score came during last year’s Fall Poker Open series, when Lu finished 2nd in the opening $1,000,000 GTD event.
Now, just two spot from the final table, he’ll try to best that result today in another $1,000,000 event and is in a good spot to do so, as the only player over the 2,000,000 chip mark.
