Rob Jonsson

The first of four flights in the $570 no-limit hold’em drew 154 entries. At the end of the scheduled 14 levels of play, the field was trimmed to just 20 players with Rob Jonsson leading the way.

Jonsson finished the day with 306,500, which is a sizable lead over the rest of the field with Michael Merisier finishing the flight second in chips with 215,500. John Pendl (209,000), Zoltan Czinkota (201,000) and Justin Harvell (199,500) round out the top five chip stacks.

They will come back on Wednesday to combine with the three other flights and play down to a winner. Complete chip counts will be posted shortly.
