Saturday, May 5th: Final Pair Of $175 NLH ($100,000 GTD) Flights On Tap For Saturday

ICYMI: With the weekend starting yesterday, came the larger numbers for the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) opening flights.  Flight 1E, which began at 11:00am, saw registration close with (114) entries (which was the largest field to that point).  After the sixteen scheduled levels were played, a total of (14) players would reach the bagging process.  Tournament regular Joseph Mancuso led the group with 285,500, earning himself the chip lead bonus.  

The numbers grew even larger at night (6:00pm), as Flight 1F ended up with an official field of (142) entries.  Play would pause with just under fifteen minutes remaining in Level 15, as the 10% mark was reached (15 players).  The bagging process started at that point, with Shamir Patel packing up the largest stack (341,000).

Heading into the final day of starting flights, the $175 NLH ($100,000 GTD) has a tot al of (626) entries, with (69) players already having booked spots into tomorrow's Day 2.  The prize pool has grown to $82,632, with only (132) entries needed to reach the posted number.

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

ICYMI: After a nice start to this week's $175 NLH ($100,000 GTD), the numbers grew even larger during yesterday's second pair of opening flights.  Flight 1C, which started at 11:00am, ended up attracting a field of (93) entries.  Play would eventually pause with just over six minutes remaining in Level 15, as the 10% mark was reached (with nine players bagging chips for Sunday's Day 2).  Jose Reyes bagged the flight's chip lead (358,500), and was awarded the chip lead bonus ($1,100 NLH Single-Ante seat on May 31st).
