$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1E Entries: N/A
The "second half" of Event #1 starting flights begin in just a few moments, as Tournament Director Ralph Brandt goes over the rules announcement for the players already seated in the Flight 1E field. We are currently looking at an event that has (444) entries over the first four flights, equating to $59,940 going towards the overall tournament prize pool. There have been (63) players who found bags from Flight 1A through Flight 1D, with the top ten stacks listed below:
| Cameron | Collins D | 512,500 |
| Michael | Russo | 393,000 |
| Paulius | Bikus C | 318,500 |
| Sean | JonesB | 303,000 |
| Robert | Schafer | 274,500 |
| Juan | Rodriguez | 269,500 |
| Ian | Cohen | 259,500 |
| John | Magnetta | 257,000 |
| Alfonso | Perez | 251,000 |

* The letters next to player's names signify those that received the "chip leader bonus" from their respective flights.
With the action getting underway, we will go over the structure for each flight once again. The structure mirrors the first two days of action, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and playing levels of (25) minutes over the course of the flight. Play is scheduled to conclude after (16) completed levels, but if the field reaches the 10% number, then the clock will pause and the bagging process will begin. That is exactly what happened last night in Flight 1B, with the action stopping with just over three minutes in Level 15. Therefore, Day 2 will now begin at that point, meaning the big stacks begin the day even deeper planned (along with the shorter stacks as well, which is even more important to those players).
Live coverage of Flight 1C will continue throughout the afternoon, updating followers on all of the action, including the "race for the chip lead bonus." The official counts from the opening pair of flights, along with a reminder of the new Twitter handle (@PokerIslePP) will be posted, before we shift our focus onto the notables in today's flight.
