Event 1 - $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1E Entries: N/A
The halfway point of the 2017 Florida State Poker Championships Event 1 starting flights has been reached, and to this point there have been (512) entries. A total of (69) players have successfully bagged chips for Sunday's Day 2, and look to be battling it out for a prize pool that should eclipse the $100,000 guarantee this evening.
The "weekend flights" during multi-day/multi-flight events are most often the largest of the group, so it will be interesting to see if this 11:00am (Flight 1E) flight bests the numbers from those before (Flight 1A had 101 entries, followed by Flight 1C with 105). Players in this flight sit down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and play levels lasting (25) minutes throughout the tournament. Those players looking for a goal (outside of bagging chips), can either decide to try bag chip average (which is 150,000), or chase the chip lead (held by the following players from each flight):
Flight 1A: Joseph Thomas (374,000)
Flight 1B: Oleg Efremov (500,500)
Flight 1C: Steven Cohen (377,500)
Flight 1D: Scott Sommer (492,500)
Flight 1E action gets underway in just a few minutes, with live blogged coverage continuing through the bagging process (scheduled to begin after 16 levels of play, or until 13% of the field remains). A list of combined chip counts from the first four flights will be published once play begins, followed by a look at some of the notables in the field to start the day.
