Flight C of Event 3 came to an end with 19 players advancing to Day 2. Tom Nguyen came storming from the middle of the back to the top over the last level and put 257,500 away for tomorrow. That’s good enough to lead the flight but still some distance from Fred Paradis with the overall lead.

The last break has come and gone and Flight C is down to only three tables remaining. We expect to get under 20 players after they finish out their last three levels.

With another break comes another chip leader. This time around it is Duong Dieu with 185,000 to pace the field. We’re still waiting to see if anyone can catch Fred Paradis massive 300K Day 2 bag from Flight A but no one has come close yet.
