$500 Double Stack NLH (Single Re-Entry)

Level 17:  3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 ante
Flight A Players Remaining:  58 of 463

Flight 1A in the Money

The final 60 players returned from break only two spots away from the money, and it took about seven minutes to lose the first player. But the next elimination came from a hand that was already in progress, so by the time all the tables had stopped for hand-for-hand play, they were already in the money.

The remaining 58 players are all guaranteed at least a min-cash of $800, and the final 33 will advance to Day 2, with larger payouts waiting. (We won’t know the Day 2 payouts until all seven starting flights have concluded.) Day 2 begins Sunday at 2:00 pm.
