Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 4 (Blinds 200/300/3oo)
Total Flight 1F Entries: 144

| Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) didn't feel like she was shown "blog love" the last time she was in a multi, so she wound up the first player to be featured during Flight 1F. |
Early in Level 3, Flight 1F of Event #1 had it's (129th) entry join the field, which helped the prize pool eclipse the $200,000 guarantee. The pace of entry hasn't slowed down at all, as players that currently enter are in an alternate line (which is a PSA for not showing up late to the final flights). Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) was one of the first notables we spotted in the field, coming off a SHRPO series in which she had three cashes. Birnbaum now has (24) cashes in 2018, which is a very impressive number, considering that poker is not her primary career. Her career tournament earnings are just over $787,000, as she sets her sights on the $1,000,000 mark...a number that not many players are able to reach.
The list of notables in this Flight 1F field is about as long as we've seen all tournament, as players know this is their last chance to try and bag chips for tomorrow's Day 2. Some names on the growing list include:
Nagui Yassa
Marc Duquette
Preecha Taepakdee
Ory Hen
Erik Christensen
Willie Wiggins
Irwin Block
Al Gomez
Paulius Bikus
David Coughlin
Michael Graffeo
Chad Millward
Thomas Millward
Ido Ashkenazi
Stanton Drazen
Hugh Hardy
Richard Kirsch
Robert Kessler
Jason Prest
Players will be heading on their first break of the day at the end of this level, returning to new blinds of 200/400/400. Once play resumes, we will continues with a list of notables in the field.
