BATB Event #1 (Flight 1C): Notables Abound, As Flight 1C To Eclipse Yesterday's Numbers

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/25) | Structure 
Total Flight 1C Entries: 114

Rodney Moret-Rojas (Troy, MI) is coming off back-to-back tournament wins, with a WSOP Circuit title from Coconut Creek, and win during the Wynn Spring Classic ($360 No Limit Hold'em).

Even though there have been been two Event #1 flights completed to this point, they are still a barometer for things moving forward.  The numbers from yesterday were pretty impressive, with both of the flights eclipsing the century mark, which is great for Sunday afternoon/evening action.  This field just returned from it's first break with (114) entries, raising eyebrows once again.  The combined prize pool is about to reach $50,000, meaning the $100,000 guarantee may be in the rear view mirror before the final flight even begins (Flight 1E is tomorrow at 6:00pm).

Yesterday's afternoon flight saw a large number of "new" faces in the crowd, while today's is full of recognizable names.  Continuing the list of notables in the Flight 1C field are the following:

Joseph Mancuso
Richard Leger
Robert Flacco
Guillermo Irving
Jose Parra
Rodney Moret-Rojas
Rami Ezra
Joseph Durso
