Saturday, February 18th: Final Chances To Join Event 1 Action

After six Event 1 starting flights, the have been (774) total entries, with a total of (104) players successfully booking tickets to tomorrow's Day 2.  Today's final two flights only need to average (76) entries per flight in order to reach the $125,000 guarantee, and considering it's Saturday, we should see field sizes that will crush that number.

There have been six players to earn seats into the Battle At The Beach $1,500 Main Event, via their respective flight's "chip lead bonus:"

Robert Urspruch (Flight 1A) - 396,500

James Plate (Flight 1B) - 477,000

Matthew Zarcadoolas (Flight 1C) - 317,500

Maurico Duarte (Flight 1D) - 308,000

Frederico Camara (Flight 1E) - 396,000

Lisa Teebagy (Flight 1F) - 372,500

There are two more flights on the schedule today, offering players the final opportunity to reach Day 2, and potentially earn a first place prize that should be somewhere around $30,000 (not a bad return on a $175 investment).
