$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1A Entries: N/A
It's Friday...also known as "Flight-day" for Event #18, as the $175 buy-in tournament sees it's third (of six) opening flights kicking off momentarily. The $100,000 guaranteed event began yesterday, with the first pair of starting flights attracting a total of (190) entries. The fields were a mix of players we've seen throughout the series, some new faces entering their first event, and of course...the notables we've come to know and love. There were (28) players able to book tickets for Sunday's Day 2, led by TJ Shulman, who packed up 402,000.
The rules for Flight 1C stay the same as yesterday, with a structure that sees players sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units. Levels in the tournament will last (25) minutes throughout, with registration open through the first eight levels of each flight (including the break that follows Level 8). The starting flights are scheduled to end at the end of Level 16, or if the field reaches the 10% mark, whichever comes first. Those players remaining at the end of each flight will bag up their stacks for Sunday's Day 2, with action resuming at 12:00pm, and playing down to a winner.
While the tournament area fills up, live blogged coverage will begin with a combined list of Day 2 chip counts, before we take our first look at notables in the field.
