Play is about to enter the final level (Level 16), with a majority of the stacks remaining above the Day 2 chip lead (129,000). While many of those stacks sit between 120,000-160,000, there is only one player to have eclipsed the 200,000 mark, and that is Jerry Willis (Boynton Beach, FL). This may be Jerry's first time on the blog, but his "other half" has been featured frequently over the last few months. Jerry's wife Dolline made the blog coverage handful of times during the Florida State Poker Championships, cashing twice during the series, including a deep run in Event #7 ($360 No Limit Hold'em - 20th Place $2,300). Jerry's career earnings are just a few thousand short of his wife, but a deep run in this event would help him overtake the household title.

Jason Young (Suffern, NY) and Tony Ruberto (Miami, FL) have been sitting next to each other for most of the day, but managed to stay out of each other's way...until moments ago. The two got it all-in pre, with Young covering Tony, who was at risk for his tournament. Ruberto was ahead with A♠ K♣ against Young's A♣ Q♠, with the 6♦ 4♠ 10♣ 8♦ 6♥ runout securing him the double to over 130,000.
The very next hand, Young would open from UTG, and after getting one call, the player in the big blinds would shove for just over ten big blinds. Jason then re-shoved, and was able to get the limper to fold his hand. This time it would be Jason with the A♥ K♥, up against the Q♥ 10♦ of his opponent. Both players would flop pairs, and while the turn would bring an open-ended straight draw for Young's opponent, a blank on the river helped him recover some of the chips lost to Ruberto.

There are many possible reasons, but today's flight has seen much more action that any of the afternoon flights that have come before. We witnessed yet another multi-way all-in, this time at Table 6. Three players were all-in on a K♦ J♥ 10♠ flop, with Richard Leger holding K♥ 10♥, up against A♣ J♣ and A♠ Q♣ (Pedro Palacio).

Even though Pedro flopped the straight, he still needed to fade the turn and river. The 7♥ on the turn was all that Leger could ask for, outside of making a full house. He gained nine more outs to win, one of which arrived on the river (9♥). Leger would let out a celebratory fist-pump, having come behind to triple-up (60,000). Pedro Palacio would win a 20,000 chip side-pot to stay alive, while the unknown player in the hand took the biggest loss.
Richard Leger - 60,000

In the fifty minutes since registration closed, the field has already lost thirty players, now down to (64) remaining. Sergio Amato (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) was just all-in for his tournament life moments ago, but was in one of the more favorable positions a player can find themselves in. Amato held A♠ A♣ against K♥ K♣ and Q♠ Q♣, looking to triple-up to over 70,000. The A♥ 5♠ 2♠ flop was close to perfection for Amato, and while he felt comfortable holding the ace of spades after the 3♠ on the turn, both of his opponents would gain chop outs. The river brought the J♣ though, and Amato would sit back down in his chair, collecting the sizable pot.

Roy Cohen (Boca Raton, FL) now has some competition for the chip lead, as Jason Marshman (Tamarac, FL) knocks two players out in a three-way pot. The chips were in pre-flop, with Marshman holding A♠ K♣ against Q♥ Q♦ and 7♠ 7♣. Jason would grab the lead right on the flop (A♦ K♠ 6♥), leaving his opponents drawing thin. The turn and river ran out clean for Marshman, who would chip up to 125,000 with the pot. He becomes the second player to eclipse the century mark, and looks to continue trending in the right direction.

As we were scanning the room for some of the larger early stacks, we just happened to pass a multi-way all-in unfolding. Three players had chips in front of them, including Bryce McVay and John Magnetta. The third (and unknown) player in the hand had both McVay and Magnetta covered, and when the hands were tabled, it would be McVay in third place.

Bryce held A♥ 8♥ agains the A♦ J♦ of A. Nonymoous, and the A♠ Q♣ of Magnetta, who seemed very surprised to see that he held the best of it. The 10♦ 6♠ 7♥ flop missed each of the players, but Bryce did gain some equity with the straight draw...which he would hit right on the turn (9♥). The turn would also give him outs to the nut-flush, meaning A. Nonymous was the only player drawing live, to a non-heart eight. The river would bring the 2♠, sealing the pot for McVay, who chipped up above 40,000.
John Magnetta would be eliminated in the hand, but would re-enter the flight just a few moments later.

When there is a tournament with a large guarantee and great value such as this event, players are going to make their way to the room...wherever they are from. Claudemir Osorio (Orlando, FL) is a regular at Hard Rock in Tampa, but decided to take a drive down, and fire into this event. Osorio may be a relative unknown (unless you're "in the know"), but he has a resume with over $155,000 in live tournament earnings.
Osorio has a bunch of smaller scores this year, with his last significant result coming during the WPT DeepStacks Summer Series (Hard Rock Tampa) last year. Claudemir won the opening event of the series ($570 No Limit Hold'em), earning $36,620. That result was just over a year removed from his largest ever tournament score, which came during the "Spring Poker Series" at the same property (Event #5 - $560 No Limit Hold'em). Osorio would earn the title in that tournament as well, which was worth $41,878. Claudemir continues the list of notables in this Saturday afternoon field, which includes the likes of:

On the first hand she played in Tuesday's tournament, Abbey flopped top set on a 2♣ 5♦ 7♣ flop. After she led out, Daniels would watch one player raise, and another three-bet shove. There was no chance that Abbey was folding her hand, even though she was positive that she was up a flush draw. She happened to be up against two flush draws in a multi-way all-in, with the board completing said flush on the river. It was just poor luck, which is magnified in a larger buy-in such as the Single-Day Series, but Abbey's back in action in this Flight 1G field. Some other late arrivals include:

Tom Gity's (Pompano Beach, FL) run through this "August $100,000" event has been well documented...both the good and the bad. Gity's opening flights have been sort of a roller coaster, chipping up nicely over the course of the flight, only to run into unavoidable spots to eventually bust. With only two levels to go in the flight yesterday, Tom was one of the top stacks in the room, but shared the felt with the chip leader at the time (Fletcher McKinney).

After Tom three-bet an open from McKinney (25,000 from a 5,000 open), Fletcher would just call, and the two would see a flop of J♥ J♠ 10♥. Fletcher would check-call a shove from Gity, and had Tom in rough shape, holding A♠ A♥ to Tom's Q♥ Q♦. The pot would propel Fletcher to the flight's chip lead (and second over heading to Day 2), while Gity found himself out of the flight just a few hands later.
Tom has put the misfortune of the last few days behind him, and is looking to continue his solid play...except this time he wants to reach the bagging process.

The final pair of the "August $100,000" opening flights began just moments ago, as cards got in the air for Flight 1G. Over the course of the first six flights for the "August $100,000," there have been a total of (758) entries, with (106) players successfully managing to get chips in a bag. The combined prize pool for the four flights sits at $87,170, which is just the guarantee, with only an average of (56) entries needed n today's flights to reach the guarantee.
The chip average for the (106) players that are currently heading to Day 2 is 129,000, and with action resuming at the end of Level 15 on Sunday, that means an average stack will return with just over (30) big blinds. The top five stacks after four flights belong to:
Jay Marajh - 374,500
Fletcher McKinney - 351,000
Anthony Bennett - 306,500
Matthew Ehrlich - 296,000
Alberto Niebla - 281,000
A full list of combined chip counts will be posted shortly, followed by a glance at some of the notables in today's afternoon flight.
Saturday, August 26th: After A Massive Friday Night, It's A "Guaranteed" Lock
ICYMI: Yesterday's action started at 11:00am with Flight 1E of the "August $100,000," the fifth of eight starting flights for the event. Joseph Ritzie (Hamilton, OH) would be the final entry into the flight, bringing the overall total to (100). After the scheduled sixteen levels were played, and the bagging process was finished, Fletcher McKinney (Winterhaven, FL) would bag the flight's chip lead (351,000). Fletcher leads the (15) players to bag from the flight primarily because of a hand against Tom Gity. McKinney and Gity got it in a the flop for a pot for over 300,000, with Fletcher holding pocket aces to Tom's pocket queens. Some others to bag from the flight included Scott Bailey (215,000), Evan Teitelbaum (152,500), and Arlene Vazquez (83,000).
Then came the evening flight (Flight 1F) at 6:00pm, which brought numbers that nobody could have predicted.
