BATB Event #1 (Flight 1E): Registration Closes At The Largest Flight To Date, Updated Chip Counts From The Field

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 9 (Blinds 400/800/100) | Structure 
Total Flight 1E Entries: 188

Angelo Castaldi (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) last cashed in the opening event of the Hard Rock's Escalator Series, and is hoping to book his first Isle Poker Room cash since the 2017 Isle Open.

Registration for Flight 1E is now closed, with the final number of entries closing at (188), which makes this the largest flight (of the five to have been played).  The $25,380 going towards the overall prize pool, means that the guarantee will be eclipsed the moment Flight 1D starts (at 6:00pm).  We would potentially see close to 1,000 entries for this event when things are all said and done, with a first place prize somewhere in the $25,000-$30,000 range.

Angelo Castaldi (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) leads the field at the second break, and will be returning to Level 9 with 115,000.  There is a large group within striking distance of that top spot, including the likes of Ellton Chester, Sean Mooney, and Harry Sideris.

Angelo Castadli - 115,000 (143bb)
Harry Sideris - 100,000 (125bb)
Sean Mooney - 100,000 (125bb)
Franciso Pulido - 95,000 (118bb)
Rodney Moret-Rojas - 95,000 (118bb)
Ellton Chester - 90,000 (112bb)
