Flight C Entries:  493

Flight C returned from their first break, closing on 500 entries, and edging up near the seven-digit guarantee. You can lock that number up and we can start looking to some bigger milestones.

Genesis Chacon was the chip leader at break, coming back to her seat to a stack worth 93,300. Jacob Naumann had the second biggest in the room with 89,200 but he added some early in Level 5 and pushed over 95,000.

Florida is a fun place to play Omaha games and our tournaments have continued to draw big groups of four-card fans. We have 75 entries already in the game and they are already heading toward one of our bigger fields for this tournament.

A few in early action include former PLO8 champ Joel Harwood and six-time Hollywood major champ David Shmuel along with Wally Maddah and Caleb Piderit who both final tabled the H.O.R.S.E. tournament last night.

Another big turnout this morning with the 346 entries so far putting a combined $745K in the prize pool and they will easily beat the $1,000,000 guarantee.

A few friendly faces in early action include Jacob Naumann, Aaron Massey, Rafael Lima, and Willie Wiggins.

Wiggins stepped outside his comfort zone a bit and played the $400 H.O.R.S.E. yesterday. The NLH regular ran deep and finished second in a three-way deal at the final table.
