Event 1C: $570 Deep Stack, $300K Gtd
Level 4: 100/200/25 | Structure
Flight C Entries: 83 | Total Entries: 384

The first break is right around the corner with the clock showing 83 entries to this point. That puts that the combined field at 384 generating nearly $200,000 toward the $300,000 guarantee.

We will take a look at the top Flight C stack and a few of the notables in the game after break.

Karl Manouchakian

The entry count has continued an upward trend since cards went in the air about an hour ago. Typically one to take his shots in the night flights, local standout Karl Manouchakian has a little earlier call time on this Friday and is in the Flight C action.

Manouchakian owns more than $150,000 in career earnings including three wins in right here at the Seminole Hard Rock. A standout series for him came during the property’s 2016 WPTDeepStacks festival when he earned Player of the Series honors.

We’ll keep an eye on Manouchakian’s progress as he looks to maneuver his way to a bag in Flight C.
