Flight E Entries:  322

Flight E players are nearing the third break and stacks are starting to build up late in the day. Erica Adam is among the leaders with 238,000 and Marcus Gurley is not far behind with 232,500.

There are still 88 players in action so they have time to work it up with only 33 of them advancing to Day 2.

Registration closed for the fifth of six flight for TPC Event 1 with another 322 entries putting the combined total at 1,202. The $250,000 guarantee is far back in the rearview mirror and the prize pool sits with more than $400,000.  We expect a huge crowd tomorrow and that number will explode.

Flight E will continue until 33 players remain and they will advance to Day 2 on Sunday at noon in the money.
