Just 41 players remain from 98 starting entries meaning more than half the Flight C field is on the rail. Despite the mass exodus, the late stages of play are littered with notables. In addition to Steve Trizis and Karl Manouchakian, regulars Tom Nguyen and Filipp Khavin are in the fray.

Nguyen, who cashed in this event last year, owns nearly $300,000 in career earnings. Khavin, meanwhile, sits on over $441,000 in cashes including a victory in the 2015 WPTDeepStacks-Immokalee Main Event.
