Once Flight 1F started at 6:00pm, it was clear that it was going to be the largest flight of the six to have been played. The $100,000 guarantee was surpassed just a few levels into the flight, and ended up closing a $124,065. After registration closed for the flight, there were no more change upcoming for players, so any eliminations would be their last. The bagging process began after the conclusion of Level 16, with (32) players heading to Day 2. The group was led by Gilbert Betancourt (Miami, FL), who ended up bagging the overall Day 2 chip lead, with 514,000. There were numerous large stacks to come out of Flight 1F, belonging to Cameron Collins (387,500), Luis Mantilla (339,500), Ellen Smith (286,000), and Al Gomez (239,000).
