Total Day 1B Entries: 100

Luis Santoni (Aguada, FL)

Just a few moments ago, Flight B saw it's hundredth entry, meaning the field has already passed the number from yesterday (with that same trend expecting to continue tomorrow).  There have been numerous familiar faces to "late-reg" since we last checked in, including:

Robert Transue
Mary Jane Forsythe
Matthew Frank
Michael Newman
Joshua Coates
Elliot Zaydman

We also spotted a players that's here most every day, playing either 4/8 Omaha or 6/12 OE cash games, Mr. Luis Santoni.  What we didn't know is that Luis is basically as "O.G." as you're going to get in one of these events during the series.  Quick research on Luis showed that he has over $1,122,000 in career tournament earnings!  Suntan's biggest scores came in some of the more prestigious events that were played "back in the day:"

Luis's tournament schedule is much lighter now, as he shifted his focus from poker to fragrances, owning L & V Creations with his family working with him.
