$360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 14

20,000 unit starting stacks are waiting for players to arrive, as Flight 1C action of Event #10 began moments ago.

The tournament supervisor (Ralph Brandt) finished up the rules announcement moments ago, with action now underway for Flight 1C of Event #10 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD).  Yesterday's opening day of the event saw a total of (131) entries over the course of two flights, with (19) players reaching the bagging process.  The two "bonus winners" from the flights were Chad Vetstein (who bagged 308,500 in Flight 1A), and Alvin Tight, who ended up bagging the overall lead with 331,500 (for Flight 1B).  There were a number of notables players to pack away chips for Sunday, including Jose Parra (297,000), Matthew Vetstein (112,000), Joseph Duchman (96,000), and Cameron Collins (46,500).

The combined prize pools from each flight totaled $39,955, which is a solid number for the first day of opening flights.  The pace should pick up over the next (48) hours, as the weekend begins, and player's schedules allow for more poker action.  We will allow the tournament area to fill up, before taking our first look at notables in the field.  Live blogged coverage will continue throughout the afternoon, concluding with the official end of flight chips counts for Flight 1C.

Today's flights are structured the same as the two that were played yesterday, and the two to follow tomorrow...with starting stacks of 20,000 units.  Levels 1-15 will be (30) minutes, and will transition to (40) minutes Levels 16+ (which is Day 2).  The chip leader from each flight will earn a "bonus," which is entry into Event #16 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em $50,000 Guaranteed).
