Total Day 1A Entries: 80

Players in this Day 1A flight are on their second break of the day, and will be returning to Level 6, and new blinds of 250/500/75.  There will be two more levels played before the flight's scheduled dinner break (after Level 7), with Day 1A play scheduled to end at the conclusion of Level 12.  

About (10) minutes before break, Chino Rheem would be all-in for 5,750, shoving over an open from James Calderaro.  After the action folded behind Rheem, James would make the call, and the two would be racing.  It would be the 6♠ 6♥ of Calderaro against Rheem's K♦ J♦, with the dealer then fanning out a board of 2♠ 6♦ 9♣ 9♦ 10♣.  Things would be locked up for Calderaro on the turn, and Chino would exit the tournament area after a quick first bullet.  Calderaro would assume the early chip lead with that pot (90,000), and is the favorite to become the first player to eclipse the century mark.
