BATB Event #1 (Flight 1C): Never A "Case Of The Mondays" When The Battles At The Beach Are Running, Cards In The Air For Flight 1C

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50) | Structure 
Total Flight 1C Entries: 38

After the opening day of action for the 2018 Battles At The Beach, there have been a total of (218) entries for Event #1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD).  Of those entries, (27) players were able to bag chips for Wednesday's Day 2, led by Omar Yates (who packed up 412,000).  With just under $30,000 combined going towards the overall prize pool (from the first pair of flights), this opening tournament is already shaping up to be something special.

The first hand for Flight 1C was dealt just a few moments ago, with another group of eager (and early) players already spread across the tournament area.  The structure mirrors both flights that come before it, with entrants sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and levels throughout the day that last (25) minutes.  Registration is open until the first hand is dealt in Level 9, which falls somewhere around 2:30pm.  Players in the flight are not only trying to find bags for Day 2, but are also competing for the two "chip lead bonus" spots that are available, which would earn the winners a seat into Event #10 ($560 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante).

The full list of combined chip counts will be posted shortly, followed by our first look at players in this Flight 1C field.
