Players Remaining:  8 of 76

It took a little while to get there but Brenda Lyons was the unfortunate bubble this evening. She mixed it up with Jeff Trudeau Jr when they checked down a board reading . Trudeau bet 42,000 on the river and Lyons called leaving only 24,000 behind.

Trudeau tabled for rivered set of kings and Lyons showed for top top. She was left short and gone a few hands later.

Trudeau bagged the Flight B chip lead with eight players returning tomorrow, joining the five from yesterday.

We will post the payout information and the seat draw later this evening.

1. Jeff Trudeau Jr – 589,500
2. Daniel Kasper – 526,000
3. Yin Ting Jiang – 411,500
4. Ken O’Donnell – 357,000
5. Steve Zhang – 146,000
6. Yousef Nassr – 109,000

Players Remaining:  13 of 76

Flight B is down to two tables with 13 players trying to get one of the eight seats for Day 2 tomorrow. Jeff Trudeau continues to lead but some are getting close.

With no more chances to re-enter, the pace is slower than yesterday and they are picking their spots.

Level 13:  1,500/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Players Remaining:  19 of 76

Flight B slid through Level 12 and tournament staff sent players on a 15-minute break as they pulled the black chips out of play. We have 19 players remaining so still a lot of time for players to spin up stacks since we are not stopped until eight players remain.

The chip lead has changed and it happened after Jeff Trudeau joined the table of former leader Bill Isbell. He is up to 427,000 while Isbell is down under 200K.

Flight B dropped down to three tables in Level 11 and making its way toward the late stages of the day. They will have to work their way down to the final table and survivor one more bust out after that to make Day 2 tomorrow.

Recent eliminations include James Calderaro, Tony March, Ryan Luker, and Wally Maddah.

Level 10:  800/1,600 with a 1,600 ante
Players Remaining:  31 of 76

A walk among the tables during the second break found a couple of big stacks but one stood out. Tampa Poker regular Bill Isbell’s stack is always easy to find, one of the few in the room who stack in 10s instead of 20s. His was spread in front and counted out for a total of 293,000 for a clear lead.

Brenda Lyons looks like the second biggest with 179,200 with several others teasing 200K.
