Event 9 (Flight A): Registration Window Closing, Flight B Starting Up

Event 9 ($350 No Limit Hold'em $300,000 Guarantee)
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Day 1A Entries: 68

With the amount of potential entries in this event, we should see the reappearance of the plaques at some point in the later stages of the tournament.

With only (15) minutes remaining in registration for Flight A, a flurry of players have headed to the podium to jump in as a "late entry."  For those players that would rather start the day with (400) big blinds, opposed to just over (30), Flight B of Event 9 gets started in just a few minutes (3:00pm).  

The same rules apply for Flight B, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000.  The levels will last (30) minutes for the entire flight, and will transition to (40) minutes at the resumption of Day 2.  It looks as if things are off to a slow start for Flight B, but once the tournament area begins to fill up, a list of notables in the field will be posted.
