Time is running out to build a bag. Level 14 is here to leave them with only 30 minutes remaining in their day. The pace slowed a bit as short stacks try to hang on for tomorrow’s action but we should see another table gone before bagging.

The field is dropping and the stacks are building. Our newest big stack belongs to a familiar face. Mario De La Puente has been on a hot streak of late, including a win in Event 2 a few days ago, and is in position to return tomorrow with a big bag.

He’s up to 210,000 with less than an hour remaining.

Level 9: 500/1,000 with a 1,000 ante
Flight G Entries: 341 (Total Entries: 1,013)

They got there. With barely a sweat over the last level, Flight G pushed the combined entry count of Event 1 over 1,000 with a baker’s dozen to spare. We will wait for the confirmed numbers and post them along with the payout information.

We have two new big stacks and with a pair of Mikes. Mike Warren is the top stack in the room with 142,500 and Mike Vadala is not far behind with 135,000.

Everyone remaining has six more levels to run to catch them and put together a big bag for tomorrow.

Flight G Entries: 322 (Total Entries: 994)

The race is on. Flight G is up to 322 entries with one level remaining for late registration, plus the break, and they are chasing a four-digit field. The entry count sits at 994 and it should get there if we see some action with re-entries.

Level 6: 300/500 with a 500 ante

The count keeps climbing and four-digit territory is in play if we catch another big run at the registration desk. It’s a long shot but you can never tell what will happen as time runs out on the final flight of Event 1.

Willie Wiggins is taking his shot this afternoon in an attempt to book his first major cash in this room. The South Florida pro has plenty of big scores at our sister property in Hollywood, including a $176K cash in January, but he’s still looking for that big number on the west coast of Florida.

Cards are back in the air after the first break. We searched the room for the biggest stack and found a big one. With a few stacks in the 70K range, Massimo Dirienzo eclipsed them all. He ran his 20,000 starting stack up for 116,500 in two hours for a great start.

We have dead on 900 entries in the tournament at the moment and a steady group at the registration desk.
