Event 20 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 1 (Blinds 50/100)
Total Flight 1B Entries: N/A
Players are taking their seats at their respective tournament tables, as Tournament Director Ralph Brandt goes over the rules for the day. Today's flight is a mirror image of yesterday, in regards to structure and schedule, as players sit down to starting stacks of 30,000 units. Levels are (50) minutes throughout the flight, and will transition to (60) minutes when Sunday's Day 2 begins. Registration is open throughout the flight, and will continue to stay open until the first card is in the air on Sunday (12:00pm).
The Main Event's opening flight finishing with (125) entries, and (30) players successfully bagging chips for Day 2 (a full list of chip counts will be re-posted shortly). Everyone is looking up a Danny Shiff (Orlando, FL), and will likely continue to do so, as he bagged a number that is almost unfathomable (535,600). The Day 2 chip average after one flight is 126,000, with ten players bagging over that amount from Flight 1A, including Michael Amato, Joel Gossett, Tracy Scala, Scott Hart, and Michael Perez).
The field was full of notable players yesterday, with that trend sure to continue over the next (48) hours. Florida has become one of the most popular destinations for poker pros to call home, so it will be interesting to see who enters the room as play continues on today. Once the tournament area fills up a little more, we will bring you the first look at players in this Flight 1B field.
