$175 NLH $100,000 GTD (Flight 1G): Second To Last Opening Flight Just Underway, Big Numbers Needed To Reach Guarantee

$175 No Limit Hold'em
$100,000 Guaranteed
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1G Entries: N/A

After three days of action, we have reached the final pair of opening flights for the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), with a strong showing needed to reach the guarantee.  The first six flights have seen a combined total of (350) entries, with (47) players bagging chips for tomorrow's Day 2.  In order to meet the $100,000 guaranteed number, the tournament needs a total of (408) entries over these final two flights, which is definitely an attainable number.  The "overlay alert" is still a real thing though, as the word is spreading across the poker community.  Flight 1G will really determine whether or not we see an overlay, so we will keep a close eye on the number of entries over the course of the afternoon.

Players are just now settling in their seats, so we will update blog followers on the Day 2 chip counts to this point, before focusing on the notables in today's field.
