Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 22
The 2018 Florida State Poker Championships got off to a blazing start yesterday, as the first pair of starting flights for Event #1 attracted a total of (244) entries. Those are some excellent numbers for an opening day that fell on a Thursday, with this upcoming weekend expected to draw even larger numbers. We keep harping back to last year's numbers for this same event, which drew a field of 1,590 entries, and a prize pool of $223,160. Those same numbers seem very attainable after yesterday's quick start, so it will be exciting to see how the next three days unfold.
Players are already seated in the tournament area, with the first Flight 1C hand dealt just a few moments ago. Everyone is currently chasing Nathan Van Hare, who ended up bagging the Flight 1B chip lead (and overall leading stack), with 356,500. While difficult to reach, players in today's flight can still earn a chip lead bonus, as it's a "new race." Coverage will start with an updates post of combined chip counts from yesterday, before we delve into some of the notables in today's field.
