Michael Melamed was featured on the first Top 5 of the day and has continued to do well at a difficult table. Melamed now has ~220k and is the biggest stack at a table featuring Kyle Bowker, Thai Ha, Matt Mendez, Manuel Jaime, and Joe Cashen. That line-up is almost certainly one of the toughest in the room.
Melamed is also another occasional tournament player to chip-up here on Day 1B. He has just two cashes on his resume and only $3.5k in earnings. He played those events at the SHR Hollywood and is trying out Parx for the first time.
