Greg McNealy held onto his chip lead and put 265,500 in his bag followed by Misti Murphy’s 247,000. Michael Cohen had the third biggest bag with 190,000 and all three will be in contention late on Sunday.

Level 7: 300/600/75 Ante

Registration has closed for the Ladies Event as they come back to Level 7. The tournament drew 40 entrants, a fine increase from the 18 who played this event last year.

Brenda Lyons, former WSOP Circuit Ladies Event final table member, is your latest leader. Her stack has increased from the starting 15,000 up to 62,000 and she added another 10,000 on one of the first hands after break.

Payouts and prizepool information will be posted shortly.

Level 1: 25/50

The second flight of the day, and fourth overall for Event 1, is underway in the corner of the poker room. This flight puts every poker table in use with the exception of those breaking in the other two tournaments.

They don’t stay empty for very long, floor staff transition those right into the ever-increasing number of live cash games rolling.

Event 1 has 247 entrants counted over the first three starting flights and tonight will boost it closer to the $150,000 Guarantee. For the $350 buy-in, players sit with 20,000 stacks and will move through 30-minute levels on Day 1. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 10:30pm.

Players are in their seats and cards are in the air.

Level 13: 1,200/2,400/300 Ante

Players are back in their seats after the break and have two more levels to build up their stack. Misti Murphy continues to have a very nice day and increased her stack to 177,700 over the previous four levels.

But she is not longer leading, thT honor belongs to Greg McNealy who is closing in on 200,000. His 190,500 at break would be good enough for a top ten stack through the first three flights but things could change in the next hour.

McNealy has some nice success in our poker room. He captured the “Classic Rockers” event during the 2014 Spring Poker Open and his biggest score came when he won the $560 Deep Stacks Series event in 2013 for almost $65,000.

Level 6: 200/400/50 Ante

The Ladies Event is about to take their second break of the day and registration will close at the restart. There are 40 entrants registered so far and we might pick up a few more during the break.

Level 12: 1,000/2,000/300 Ante

Players are getting ready to head on their final break of the flight with 25 of the starting 90 entrants still around.

Jon “Pearljammer” Turner hit the rail in the previous level and will have to try again in the 6pm flight. Misti Murphy seems to be increasing her stack size but we will double check the last three tables when they take a walk.

Level 3: 75/150

The Ladies Event is back from the first break and Debbie Stokes is the early chip leader. She more than doubled her 15K starting stack and sits with 42,000 at the start of Level 4.

There are few players not far behind including Trevilynn Blakeslee and Dani Mae.

There are three more levels of late registration and re-entries available and we had two more additions during the break to hit 37 for the event so far.

Level 3: 75/150

The Ladies Event is taking its first break of the day and they’ve already built a nice field. The 35 in the game right now makes it look while we’ll double the 18 entrants from this event last year for a big prize pool.

We found our defending champion at her table before the break. Dani Mae has one career tournament cash and the St. Petersburg made the most of it with the win.

We’ll return with an updated count plus our first break leaders.

Level 10: 600/1,200/200 Ante

One player stands out in the 1C field after registration closed and he has some juicy results. Jon “Pearljammer” Turner took a seat at the front of the poker room and is quietly grinding this $150,000 Guarantee.

Turner has over $1.7 million in career live tournament earnings including nine WSOP final tables. He really made his mark back in the glory days of online poker when he amassed a very impressive $7.7 million in tournament earnings.

Good luck Table 31.
