As the field was playing down to the money and bagging for Day 2, both Eran Golan and Matt Longfellow were over 600K and vying for the end-of-day lead. Longfellow came close after a double knockout but his 607,000 was a few chips behind leader Golan’s 613,000.

We will post the complete chip count list as soon as it is available.

Jake Ferror is the new leader, his 426K stack tops by a lot. Jason Andrzejewski sits in second with 329,000 followed by Evan Pantano with 311,000.

Flight E players are looking at the next break coming up and it should be the last of the day. We have 49 players remaining with 28 moving on, they probably won’t get another four levels in before that mark.

Some of those still in contention for a bag include Karl Manouchakian, Anthony Astarita, Jake Ferro, Igor Tretyakov, Mark Winchell, and Marsha Wolak.

We are cruising right along in the Poker Room with nearly 200 entries in today’s flight and more than an hour to grow it bigger. The prize pool is over $220K and we still have a massive Saturday flight to go.

Some familiar faces in today’s field include former WPT DeepStacks Tampa champ Anthony Astarita, Igor Tretyakov, Mark Winchell, and WSOP Ladies Champ/Pickleball pro Marsha Wolak.

Level 4:  300/500 with a 500 ante
Flight E Entries:  135

Flight E players are on their first break of the day but not before they hit a milestone for the tournament. With 135 entries today, the combined total is good enough to surpass the $200,000 guarantee.

Every new entry will push the prize pool higher with a big crowd expected today and a packed house tomorrow for the final flight.
