Level 12:  1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 ante
Day 1B Entries:  186

Cards are back in the air for the last three flights of the day with 186 entries and five more needed to surpass the $150,000 guarantee. Feeling pretty confident now.

Tarun Gulati was the leader at the last two breaks and he still has a big stack, only Myles Minns went huge over the previous three levels to top Gulati by nearly 100K.

Minns leads late as the only player over 300K and here’s a look at some of those closest to chasing him down:

Myles Minns – 361,500 (181 bb)
Tarun Gulati – 267,000 (134 bb)
Charlemagne Benjamin – 247,000 (124 bb)
TJ Shulman – 241,500 (121 bb)
Julio Delgado – 233,500 (117 bb)

The last break of Flight B is coming up and the tournament is very close to surpassing its $150,000 guarantee. Only a handful of new entries are needed and we should get those with max late reg players tomorrow (if not tonight).

They will return to play three more levels before bagging up.
