Flight 1D started just as the bagging process for Flight 1C was wrapping up, and ended with the largest field of the four starting flights to that point. A total of (170) entries made up the field, with (20) players heading to Day 2. Isle Poker tournament regular Pedro Palacio bagged the flight's chip lead, taking a pillow sized bag of 462,000 chips to Day 2. Also heading to Day 2 from Flight 1D, were Bret Grebow (268,000), Elliot Zaydman (255,000), Elias Nassif (206,000), and Paul Louis (76,500).
After four completed starting flights, Event #18 has (493) total entries, with (76) players scheduled to return for Day 2. The numbers equate to $66,555, meaning the final two starting flights need to average (124) entries each to reach the posted guarantee.
Tournaments: Event #18 wraps up today, with the final pair of six starting flights for the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) event. Players in the tournament sit down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and will be playing (25) minute levels throughout the entire event. Registration for each flight is open until the end of Level 8 (and the break that follows), with action scheduled to play a full sixteen levels (or until 10% of the field remains, whichever comes first). Players that remain will then bag chips for tomorrow's Day 2 (12:00pm), which also happens the be the start of Event #19 ($100 No Limit Hold'em $50,000 GTD), with cards flying at 6:00pm.

The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes. During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.

It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!
