Preng Hunts $5,000 Award in Flight 8
Travis "Yum Yum" Preng is in the money of Flight 8 at TCH Social Las Colinas.
Not only is he in the money, but he is trying to earn more money by earning his second bag. "Yum Yum" bagged 190,000 last night at Texas Card House Dallas.
If he can bag at Las Colinas he'll be the fourth player to earn the $5,000 multi-bag bonus for bagging at both Dallas-area TCH locations.
Pejman “Premo” Niyati was the first player to earn the $5,000 multi-bag award and was followed by Eliud Lopez and Shakil Farishta shortly after. Players take their best bag forward to Day Two.
38 players in Flight 8 are returning from a 15-minute break. Players return to blinds of 5,000/10,000/10,000 and "Yum Yum" is sitting with 240,500 (24 BBs).
