Event 1E: $570 Deep Stack, $300K Gtd
Level 8: 300/600/75 | Structure
Flight E Entries: 206 | Total Entries: 731

Level 8 is here and it marks the final chance for open registration and re-entry. When Level 8 expires, players will go on a 15-minute break and the desk closes when cards go back in the air. As is, the Flight E field shows 206 entries bringing the combined number to 731 with an unofficial prize pool of $365,500.

One of the hopefuls in Flight E is Joey Alegria. Alegria has done his part to pad the prize pool firing a few entries into this event over the course of the last couple days. While he’s had no luck yet this year, Alegria has had a good go of tournaments dating back to August of 2016 (his first reported cash). Alegria is primarily a cash game player, but got the taste of tournament play when he final tabled this event last year and followed it up with another final table appearance in the Main Event. Those two cashes earned him combined better than $44,000.

We will provide the final Flight E attendance figure after break.
