Flight B Crosses 200 Entries; Combined 450+

$350 No Limit Hold’em Re-Entry ($150,000 Guaranteed)
Level 5: 200/400/50 Ante
Entries: 212

The clock shows an unofficial 212 players midway through Level 5 of Flight B. That puts the combined field at 454 entries and all but assures the tournament will demolish its $150,000 guarantee. Today’s player count is expected to continue its upward trend through the dinner break while tomorrow’s Flight C is projected to be the largest of the three starting days.

Neil Blumenfield

The six-figure guarantee and large field have drawn a notable number of big names. Topping them in Flight B is Neil Blumenfield. Blumenfield, recognized by his signature hat and most well known for his 3rd-place finish and $3,398,000 score in the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event, is a regular on the Seminole felt. He’s joined by fellow South Florida regulars Zoltan Czinkota, Nancy Birnbaum and Steven Bennett.

We will provide an update look at the field and a glimpse at some of the notable chip counts during the 40-minute break.
