"June $50,000 GTD" (Flight 1G): As The Prize Pool Grows, So Does The Buzz

"June $50,000 GTD"
$75 No Limit Hold'em
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1G Entries: N/A



There have been six completed flights to this point, and after Flights 1A-1F, the "June $50,000 GTD" has a total of (919) entries.  The significance of that number?  The amount going towards the total prize pool from those six flights is $48,707...just over $1,000 away from the $50,000 guarantee.  To this point, there have been (120) players to bag chips for tomorrow's Day 2, with an average stack of 115,000.  There have been six "chip lead bonus winners," with Thomas Millward's Flight 1C still leading the way:

Flight 1A: Gerald Blum (248,000)
Flight 1B: Joe Latona (281,200)
Flight 1C: Thomas Millward (343,200)
Flight 1D: James Scott (326,300)
Flight 1E: Andrew Davis (314,800)
Flight 1F: Lisa Teebagy (339,900)

The cards will be in the air momentarily for Flight 1G, with Ralph Brandt going over the rules announcement for the players already seated in the tournament area.  A combined list of official chip counts will be posted shortly, followed by the first look at familiar faces making up this afternoon flight.
