$360 No Limit Hold'em
$50,000 Guaranteed
Level 3 (Blinds 75/150/25)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 86


Flight 1C is just over an hour old, and we've already seen more entries than the first two flights combined.  A total of (84) entries were needed to reach the guarantee, meaning the $50,000 number has been surpassed.  Registration is open through Level 10 this afternoon, so we should see this field eclipse the century mark.  Official chip counts will be posted at the flight's conclusion, along with Day 2 seating assignments, and the tournament's prize pool.

Saturday, June 23rd: Final Flight For $360 NLH ($50,000 GTD)...$1,500 High Hands...It's A Headlining Saturday

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule hosted two satellites for the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), and the second starting flight for the event (Flight 1B).  In a very surprising occurrence, the flight ended up with the same exact numbers as Thursday's Flight 1A.  Registration closed with (41) entries in the field, of which (5) players bagged chip for tomorrow's Day 2.  Joseph Marchese bagged the flight's chip lead, packing away 295,500, which is also the overall leading number.  Official Flight 1B chip counts are posted below:

Joseph Marchese - 295,500
Richard Leger - 240,000 
Jason Prest - 162,400
Sal Accardi - 95,200
Roger Ramos - 30,300

The total numbers for the flight now see a total of (82) entries in the field, of which (10) players are scheduled to return for tomorrow's Day 2.  The currently prize pool sits at $24,600, which is still over half the way to the posted guarantee ($50,000).  Today's Flight 1C needs at least (84) entries to make the number, which should be very attainable on this final day.

Tournaments: As mentioned above, today's tournament schedule hosts the final flight of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), which gets underway at 2:00pm.  Flight 1C is structured with starting stacks of 20,000 units, and levels that last (30) minutes.  Those levels will transition tomorrow, as Day 2 (Level 17+) will offer up (40) minute levels. Registration is open through Level 10, allowing over 5.5 hours for players to join the action.

The final satellite ($90 No Limit Hold'em) for the tournament is also on the schedule, and begins at 10:00am.  Players in the event sit down to starting stacks of 8,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 8, and the break that follows, with (5) seats into the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) guaranteed.  

There is also a recurring tournament this evening, as cards will get in the air for the $150 No Limit Hold'em "Deepstack" at 6:00pm.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 20,000 units, and levels that last (25) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 10, offering a little extra time for players to join the action, or get in for a second...or third time.


Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  Then, starting at 10:00am, is one of the newest (and richest) promotions to hit the poker room:

The first of three flights is in the books, and we are now an hour away from the second opening flight for the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD).  The cards just got in the air for Flight 1B, with registration open through Level 8, which allows 4.5 hours for players to join the action.  A total of (5) players bagged Day 2 chips from the (40) entry Flight 1A field, led by Cory Williams (212,500).

Official chip counts from the flight will be posted after it's conclusion, with live blogged coverage returning on Sunday, for the Day 2 action.

Friday, June 22nd: $1,500 High Hands Return, As the $360 NLH ($50,000 GTD) Continues On

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule was a full one, with the first flight of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), and two satellites for the event ($90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite).  The opening flight (Flight 1A) of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) began at 2:00pm, and attracted a field of (40) entries.  While the field was on the "intimate" side, action did play down to the 24:30 mark in Level 16, at which point the 10% mark was reached.  Five players ended up bagging chips for Sunday's Day 2, led by Cory Williams (212,500), who was just a day removed from bubbling the final table of the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD).  Official Flight 1A chip counts are posted below:

Cory Williams - 212,500
Evan Braunstein - 182,500
John Magnetta - 146,500
Steve Ekin - 143,000
Bryan Moon - 136,000

With two flights remaining, the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) needs only (125) more entries to reach the guarantee, which will likely happen this afternoon (during Flight 1B).

Tournaments: Today continues the month's last multi-flight event, a $360 No Limit Hold'em tournament, which carries a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool.  There were be two more flights over the next two days (both starting at 2:00pm), with Day 2 players returning on Sunday.  The event is structured with starting stacks of 20,000 units, and levels of (30) minutes on Day 1.  Things then get a little deeper on Day 2, as the levels transition to (40) minutes.  Each of the starting flights will play through Level 16, with registration open through Level 8.

At 10:00am and 6:00pm, there are $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellites into the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD).  The satellite is structured with 8,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes.  A total of 1 in 5 players will earn a seat into the $360 buy-in event, with (5) seats guaranteed.  Players that do win a seat, can choose either of starting flights to enter (today or tomorrow).
