Flight D Chip Leader Geddes Cooper

Flight D of Event 1 came to an end with 72 players advancing to Day 2. The big stack in the flight belonged to Geddes Cooper, who bagged up 454,000 (114 big blinds), good for fourth overall through four flights. Right behind Cooper in the D flight was Michael Casson, who won this event back in April during the Showdown series. He sits fifth overall with 440,000 (110 big blinds).

Action ended with about 1:30 remaining in Level 15, with blinds at 2,000-4,000 with a 4,000 ante. Day 2 (Sunday at 1 p.m.) will begin with the blinds rolled back to the earliest finish among the starting flights, which at this stage is this one.
