Event 16 (Flight 1E): Friday's For Finding A Bag

Event 16 ($150 No Limit Hold'em Re-Entry)
$100,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 51
Flight 1E Players Remaining: 51



Tournament director Ralph Brandt has made the rules announcement for the field, and the cards are in the air for Flight 1E of Event 16.  The flight's field consists of over fifty entrants to start the day, with some faces here for the first time, and others returning for a second or third time to try and find a bag.  Finding a bag is what it's all about over the next (48) hours, as players try and join the (52) names already on their way to Sunday's Day 2.

Yesterday's action saw the return of Washington Gavilanes, the 2016 Isle Poker Open Event #1 winner, making his way to the blog for the first time since his winner's photo was taken.  While some new faces were welcomed to the blog, it was Isle Poker regular Michael Hefley (Boynton, FL) who bagged the Flight 1C chip lead (334,000).  It would be another familiar name to bag the evening flight's chip lead (Flight 1D), as Daniel Cruz tossed 378,000 into his Day 2 bag.

The tournament field needs to average (142) per flight for the next two days in order to reach the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, and today's start is a good sign that the number will be reached as the flight's wind down.
