Michael Tobkes (Davie, FL) finds himself atop the leaderboard, as players return from their second break.

Registration has now closed for Flight 1G, with a total of (237) entries making up the field, (128) of which still remain active across the room.  That brings the combined total to 1,011 over the first six flights, and a prize pool that sits at $136,485.  This tournament is going to exceed all expectations, and will likely finish up with a prize pool close to $175,000, and an eventual first place well over $25,000.
