Event 1 (Flight 1E): Friday's Likely To Bring A Full House

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 42



Tournament supervisor Ralph Brandt just finished up with his third rules announcement of the week, and the cards are in the air for the fifth of eight Event 1 opening flights.  To this point, Event 1 has attracted a total of (448) entries, with (59) players from that group booking tickets to Sunday's Day 2.   The tournament is already half of the way towards the $125,000 guaranteed prize pool, and with four "weekend" flights left on the schedule, we should see a number well north of the guarantee.  Four players have earned Battles At The Beach Main Event seats via the "chip lead bonus," and those lucky runners are:

Robert Urspruch (Flight 1A) - 396,500
James Plate (Flight 1B) - 477,000
Matthew Zarcadoolas (Flight 1C) - 317,500
Maurico Duarte (Flight 1D) - 308,000
