Saturday, January 21st: Saturday's Alright For Flighting

As expected, Friday's flights of Event 16 had close to double the amount of the two days prior.  A total of (246) entries took a shot at bagging chips for Sunday's Day 2, with (40) players successfully doing so.  The Flight 1E chip leader was Craig Schlesinger (Nashville, TN), who leads the entire Day 2 field with 409,000.  Flight 1F had the largest field of the six played to this point, attracting a total of (152) entries.  When the bagging process began, it would be Diego Silva Peres on top of the leaderboard, putting away 368,000 for Sunday.

Today is the final opportunity for players to try and join the Day 2 field, which has (92) members to this point.  "Live blog coverage" of Flight 1G will begin just after the first level of the day is completed, and will continue through the bagging process.  Today's flights each need to average (162) entries in order to reach the $100,000 guarantee, which should be more than attainable.  At one point it seemed as if there would be an overlay for this event, but as we've seen time and time before, the Isle Poker Room faithful always come out for a great value.
