ICYMI: The opening flight (Flight 1A) of the "November $100,000" saw registration close with (81) entries, and after sixteen full levels were played, there were (10) players remaining to bag chips. Charles Glover (Palm City, FL) bagged the chip lead (345,500), which was close to 200,000 more than his nearest competitor.

Notables to bag in Flight 1A included TJ Shulman (who bagged the second largest stack with 189,000), Zaki Lichaa (107,500), Ralph Spadafore (104,000), and David Light (54,000).

Flight 1B saw a little bit of a lighter field, but only by a small amount, as a total of (76) entries made up the flight once registration closed. The action would stop with 8:35 remaining on the clock in Level 15, as the field reached the 10% mark. There would be eight players left to start bagging chips, with Michael Marks bagging the chip lead bonus (380,000). The rest of the chip counts were published early this morning, and can be found by
