Level 1: 100/100

Flight A of the Ultimate Re-Entry event is still moving along with registration open but there is another option if players want to start fresh. Flight B is underway in the Event Center with the second of eight flights.

This tournament has a $360 buy-in and a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool with a twist on the best-stack-forward concept. Players may enter any or all of the flights, even if they already advanced. If players bag in multiple flights, they will play their biggest on Day 2 and earn a $2,500 for all other stacks.

In addition, all starting flights will play down to the money so all Day 2 returns will already set to cash. Each flight will come to an end when 10% of the starting field, rounding down, remain.

They will sit down to 15,000 starting stacks, 30-minute levels, and a big blind ante structure. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until 11:45 this evening to give players plenty of chances to make it down to the Event Center to take a shot.

Action is underway and we’ll be here the entire time.

Frankie Flowers is never bored at the poker table, he’s always having a good time. Now he’s having fun and picking up chips.

The latest run-up saw him three-bet preflop from early position followed by a short stack shove from the cutoff. The OG raiser and Flowers called to see the flop. The other live player bet 6,000 and Flowers put him all in for his last 15,000. He folded and Flowers tabled his trip kings .

The all-in player flipped up , picked up a gutshot draw on the turn, but missed the river to exit before the second break. Flowers stacked his castle higher and up to 147,000.
