Event 16 (Flight 1G): Breaking Down The Numbers

Event 16 ($150 No Limit Hold'em Re-Entry)
$100,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 158
Flight 1G Players Remaining: 128

Breakdown of attendance

There have been many mentions made about the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool for this event, and whether or not this tournament will get the numbers to reach said guarantee.  The chart to the left shows a breakdown of each flight up to this point, including how many re-entries there were, as well as players remaining at the end of the flight.  

The numbers may have started off slow, but other than the transition from Flight 1B to Flight 1C, things have steadily increased as the flights passed.  With only two flights remaining in the event coming into today, the number for each flight was (161) to reach the guarantee.  There are currently (158) in this opening flight of the day, and with two more levels of open registration, we should eclipse (161) pretty easily.  Things will come down to the final flight of the event, which is a pattern we haven't seen during these seasonal series, but we have to consider the number of other tournaments currently going on in the area.

Once registration closes (once the first card is in the air for Level 9) for this flight, we will have an exact number of entries needed for Flight 1H, and we can also focus on the action across the field.
