$150 NLH $50,000 GTD (Flight 1A): Love Is In The Air...And So Are The Cards For Flight 1A

$150 No Limit Hold'em
$50,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: N/A


February 14th is a day that people circle on their calendars each and every year, but this time around, it wasn't just because of Valentine's Day.  Today marks the beginning of the month's second $50,000 guaranteed multi-flight tournament, which has a $150 buy-in.  February's first multi came back on the first day of the month, with the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) event eclipsing the posted guarantee, after attracting a total of (182) entries in two flights.  Zachary Mullennix ended up winning the tournament outright, after besting Gary Fitzgerald during heads-up play.  The result was Zachary's first tournament win (outright), and happened to be the start of something special, as Mullennix won his first ever WSOP Circuit ring just a few days ago.

Outside of the buy-in amount, and number of starting flights, this week's event is very similar to the one that started the month.  Players in this $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) tournament will be sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, with (30) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  Play is scheduled to conclude after Level 16, or if the 10% mark is reached...whichever happens to occur first.  Those players that bag chips for Day 2, will return on Monday (February 18th) at 12:00pm, to battle it out for the title.  

As has been customary, there will be updated coverage of the afternoon flights (Flight 1A, Flight 1C, Flight 1E, and Flight 1G), along with detailed Day 2 coverage on Monday.  We will allow for the field to fill up over the first level, before taking a look at our notables in today's Flight 1A.
