Craig Schlesinger (Nashville, TN)

Flight 1E ended just moments ago, with Craig Schlesinger (Nashville, TN) bagging the chip lead with over 350,000.  Things were very close between Schlesinger and Sandy Sanchez, but Craig won a big race against Jaime Weigrete, to eliminate Weigrete from the field and scoop an 80,000 chip pot.  Players are now breaking down their stacks, and once the count have been made official, a published post with the counts will be made.

That will conclude the "live blogged" coverage for the day, but followers can check the blog periodically for the official Flight 1E chip counts, followed by the Flight 1F counts at it's conclusion.  Live coverage picks back up tomorrow morning with Flight 1G at 11:00am.
