BATB Event #1 (Flight 1E): Action Underway For Final Pair Of Event #1 Flights

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

The first Flight 1E hand of Event #1 (Battles At The Beach) was dealt just moments ago, as another group of players begin their journey towards finding a bag for tomorrow's Day 2.  The $175 No Limit Hold'em event has already exceeded expectation, with (538) entries over the tournament's first four flights.  The combined prize pool coming into today's action was already over $72,000, and has a chance to eclipse the $100,000 guarantee later this afternoon.

Just like the four flights that came before this, players will be sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, with levels of (25) minutes over the course of the day's action.  Registration is open through the break after Level 8, with the flight scheduled to conclude after Level 16.  There have been a total of (75) players to bag chips for tomorrow's Day 2, with eight "chip lead bonuses" awarded.  The list below denotes the players to have bagged those stacks, including what flight they were from:

Omar Yates - 412,000 (Flight 1B)

Donald Williams - 341,500 (Flight 1C)

Joshua Zur - 338,000 (Flight 1B)

Anthony Albano - 303,500 (Flight 1D)

Frederico Camara - 302,500 (Flight 1C)

Scott Efron - 279,000 (Flight 1D)

Tuan Phan - 269,000 (Flight 1A)

Thomas Moran - 247,000 (Flight 1A)

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