Pedro Aldave (Hallandale Beach, FL)

Players have just returned from their second (10) minute break of the day, and now that the cards are in the air for Level 9, registration is closed for this flight.  A total of (183) entries for the flight means that Flight 1H needs (139) entries to reach the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.  It's a number that should surely be reached, as these weekend "night" flights tend to attract some sizable crowds.

Pedro Aldave (Hallandale Beach, FL) was just spotted in the field, as the Event 10 winner (top prize in an eight-way chop) looks to go for back-to-back "major" event titles.  Aldave is off to a strong start this afternoon, and looks to be sitting with a top ten stack.  Attention can now be focused on the actual poker action, as the (105) players remaining try to navigate their way to a Day 2 bag.
