Level 14 expired and Flight E of Event 1 is in the books with 30 players remaining and Jeremy Costa leading the action with over 300,000. Costa holds 315,000 and his pace-setting stack is made sweeter by the fact he was down to 2,150 during the early stages of the event.

Another player fortunate to bag was Sam Medina. During one of the last hands of the night, Medina got all in holding KsKd against the AsAc of his opponent. Medina was at risk, but spiked a king on the river to stay alive. He bagged 123,000.
