Cathie Rankin - 397,500
Michael Murray - 187,500

After two opening flights, the "Night Owl" now has a total of (130) entries, with (14) players scheduled to return for Monday's Day 2. The prize pool currently sits at $17,810, but with three of the largest flights yet to be played, it's expected to cruise past the $50,000 guaranteed number.

The $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD) tournament runs from August 16th-August 20th, and is sure to be an event that crushes the guarantee. Today's satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes. Registration is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), with the event guaranteeing a total of (5) seats.
The evening time slot sees the third of five starting flights for the "Night Owl," a $175 No Limit Hold'em multi, that boasts a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Registration is open through the first eight levels, with play scheduled to end after Level 18 (or when the 10% mark is reached). Players that successfully bag chips will be returning on Monday (August 13th) for Day 2 (6:00pm).
