"January $100,000" (Flight 1C): Another Group Looking To Bag, And Top The Leaderboard

"January $100,000"
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1C Entries: N/A




Another group of players are preparing for Flight 1C to begin, as the third of six flights is scheduled to get underway in just a few moments (11:00am).  Yesterday's pair of opening flights attracted a total of (117) entries, with (16) players reaching the bagging process.  The top four stacks from the flights, and players currently in the lead for the "chip lead bonus," are as follows:

Kathy Sapp - 213,500
TJ Shulman - 188,000
Greg Spinder - 180,000
Mark Salerno - 155,500

Each of the starting flights has the same structure, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 18,000 units, and playing levels that last (30) minutes.  The opening flights have open registration through Level 12, with action scheduled to conclude after Level 15 (or unless 10% of the field remains before that point).  It should be noted that there is a chip lead bonus for the tournament, but it's a little different this time around.  Opposed to the top stack from each flight earning a "bonus," the players that hold the top four chip counts heading into Day 2, will earn entry into the end of month $2,500 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($100,000 GTD).

There will be live blogged coverage of Flight 1C, which will offer a look at the combined chip counts from yesterday's opening pair of flight, followed by an update of some of the notables in this early afternoon field.
