$140 NLH "Bankroll Builder" (Flight 1C): Two Flights In The Books, Weekend Numbers Sure To Impress

"Bankroll Builder"
$140 No Limit Hold'em

$75,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1C Entries: N/A


The opening day of the $140 No Limit Hold'em "Bankroll Builder" ($75,000 GTD) is in the books, with the focus shifting to the second pair of starting flights for the event.  Yesterday's action saw a combined total of (152) entries in the two flights, with (62) coming from Flight 1A, and (90) from Flight 1B.  From that number, (16) players bagged chips for Monday's Day 2, led by Steven Moreno (632,000).  Moreno bagged the Flight 1B chip lead, somehow eclipsing the number of Jason Thalas, who packed away 594,000 to end Flight 1A.  Those stacks are more than 200,000 clear of their nearest opponent, putting the performance into perspective.  

Official chip counts from the first two flights will be posted shortly, as we begin the third starting flight of the tournament.  Flight 1C will see it's first hand dealt in just a minute or so, with players sitting down to 20,000 unit starting stacks.  The levels will last (20) minutes over the course of the day, and will stay that way through Day 2, and the conclusion of the event.  Registration is open through Level 8, with the flight's action scheduled to end after Level 18 (or if the 10% mark is reached, which occurred during both of yesterday's flights).

After the official Day 2 chip counts are posted, we will take a look at the notable names in the field, followed by sporadic updates throughout the afternoon.
