ICYMI: It's all just a question of how "special" this event with become, as Event #3 surpassed it's $100,000 guarantee during last evening's flight.  Between Flight 1K and Flight 1L, there were a total of (360) entries, of which (36) players bagged chips for tomorrow's Day 2.  Flight 1K ended up with a total of (161) entries, and was led by Chris Tuck, who bagged 274,500.  Flight 1L was a different story (in terms of chip leaders), as Francky Dermonay bagged the top stack of the (199) entries (472,500).   That number puts him in line for the chip lead bonus, as he eclipsed Devin Kenneth Berman, who was in the second place spot.  The current prize pool sits at $105,975, and with two final flights remanning, it's only a question of how large this final number will get.
