Five starting flights are now in the books for Event #1 of the Card Player Poker Tour ($360 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD), with today's Flight 1F the final chance for players to bag chips for tomorrow's Day 2.  The combined totals to this point have seen (538) entries, of which (70) players have earned Day 1 cashes, and (29) bagged chips.  The five players to win the chip lead bonus are Michael Garavuso (Flight 1A), Thomas Puccio (Flight 1B), Matthew Brown (Flight 1C), David Poces (Flight 1D), and Michael Newman (Flight 1E)...all of which we will see in Event #8 of this series ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em).

The overall prize pool sits at $161,400, with (129) entries needed in today's flight to reach the $200,000 posted guarantee. The structure for the day mirrors that of yesterday's flight, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and playing levels that last (30) minutes.  Once registration is closed (after Level 8), players will learn how many will reach the money (12.5%), and how many will bag for Monday (5%).

The full list of Day 2 chip counts will be posted shortly into coverage, with sporadic updates published throughout the afternoon/evening.  Tomorrow's Day 2 coverage will offer detailed updates through the event's conclusion, as we crown the first Card Player Poker Tour champion.
