Level 3:  100/200 with a 200 ante
Day 1B Entries:  55

“Hey, come get a picture of the biggest stack in the room,” Jim Farnsworth said to the guy with a camera.

He was sitting with a single 500 denom chip so definitely not the biggest in the room but he was going with it.

Farnsworth put that in the middle, Adam Farjam called, and Jerome Hall raised to 3,000. Farjam was not particularly happy with the raise but called and they checked it down until the board read .

Farjam checked one last time, Hall bet 4,000 and Farjam unhappily called. His mood changed when he saw his paired ten with was best against Hall’s airball to take the bigger side pot. Farnsworth showed for a pair of fives, not good enough to keep this entry alive but he was soon back in the game.

Level 2:  100/100 with a 100 ante
Day 1B Entries:  43

While we were keeping one eye on the clock for Event 1 to hit the guarantee, we kept the other on the registration desk to see who put the tournament over the $50,000 guarantee.

That player was none other than SHR Tampa regular Bill Isbell. He was contemplating getting in the game this morning, made a decision, and taking his shot at the big game. Isbell was entry 25 today to be the first person to put more than $50,000 in the prize pool.

Day 1A Entries: 121

There are four tables remaining in Flight A with 27 players as the night cruises to an end. Maria Harrell is the last woman standing and trying to teach the boys some lessons as she aims to have a big bag after Level 14.

Ryan Hogan is running away with the chip lead at the moment and it will take something major for him to lose it. He sits with 465,000 in Level 13 with second-place Edgardo Rosario a good deal back with 307,500.

Day 1A Entries: 117

Flight A players were sent on their final break of the day, a short one at 10 minutes, long enough for tournament staff to pull the 500 demon chips out of play.

They are back to play three more levels before bagging up. There are 30 players remaining of the 117 entries and we might pick up a few more in the last two hours.
