The weekend is in full swing and we’re ready for the second half of the $350 buy-in $500,000 Guarantee Ultimate Re-Entry tournament. The field blasted past $500,000 in the fourth flight last night and now we’re pushing higher with each new entrant.

Everyone is still chasing chip leader Chad Freedman after he bagged an impressive 639,000 in the first flight. Levi Maloney came close to hitting that mark in Flight C but dropped near the end. No one else has finished over 500,000 and Roberto Alberro is the closest with 489,000.

We’ve had 12 multi-stack winners in the Ultimate Re-Entry, each earning $2,500 for bagging multiple times in the first four flights. We expect to see more today.

The first four starters drew a total of 1,745 entrants with 161 players booked for Day 2. The early session today could be our biggest of the eight starting flights and we expect a bustling ballroom all day long.

If players are unable to advance in Flight E, there is another opportunity in Flight F at 5pm.
