The last multi-flight tournament before the SPS Championship drew 973 entries. The $200 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament easily beat its $100,000 guarantee and put up $164,437 in prize money with $28,850 up top for the Event 9 winner.

Not a bad return on investment.

99 players advanced to Day 2 this afternoon at 2 pm, and they are all in the money. Only 98 will take a seat because Woodrow Pass bagged twice and will receive a min-cash in 99th and play his biggest stack.

We expect fast action right out of the gates and stay that way until we have a winner.

Top ten returning stacks:

1. Jose Hernandez – 480,000 (96 bb)
2. James Tomblin – 456,000 (91 bb)
3. Daniel Zucker – 444,000 (89 bb)
4. Ray Lambert – 443,000 (89 bb)
5. Chi Phan – 424,000 (85 bb)
