Friday, February 17th: Weekend Started Early, Event 1 Field Growing

The large fields for the Event 1 starting flights were expected to show up with the weekend, but last night's Flight 1D drew a total of (159) entries.  It was the largest flight of the four to be played, and brought the combined Event 1 total to (448).  After the bagging process was over, a total of (20) players booked tickets for Day 2, bringing that combined total to (59).  The chip leaders from each flight were Matt Zarcadoolas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), who bagged 317,500 in Flight 1C, and Maurico Duarte (who bagged 308,000 in Flight 1D).

The four remaining flights only need to average (120) entries per flight to reach the $125,000 guarantee, which would lead one to believe that this tournament is going to soar past that number.  The Flight 1E action gets underway at 11:00am, with "live blogged" coverage through the bagging process.
