Flight 1F came to an end with 47 survivors remaining from the 376 who started at 7:00 pm. Here’s a look at the top five players who finished from this flight:
1. Pasquale Caiazza – 192,500 (64 bb)
2. Taylor Moore – 166,400 (55 bb)
3. John Holley – 150,900 (50 bb)
4. Michael Johnson – 150,000 (50 bb)
5. Gabriel Ramos – 144,200 (48 bb)
A full summary of the day will be posted soon.
There were 375 players who started the 7:00 pm Day 1F of Event 6 ($125 No-Limit Hold’em w/ $150K Guarantee), and as they return from the last break of the day, there are 59 players remaining.
The average chip stack is about 63,500, which is worth 31 big blinds.
Normally, during the last break of a starting flight, we’ll scan the field for chip stacks above 120,000 to find the leaderboard. But tonight, in Flight 1F, there was only one player above that mark — Pasquale Caiazza.
Caiazza has 209,000, nearly twice as much as the next closest stack, which belongs to Steven Moreno (119,000).
1. Pasquale Caiazza – 209,000 (104 bb)
2. Steven Moreno – 119,000 (59 bb)
Nobody else in the field has much over 100,000, but that will certainly change as they play one more hour before bagging-and-tagging their chips for the night.
There were 406 entrants in Flight 1E of Event 6 ($125 No-Limit Hold’em w/ $150K Guarantee), which started at 3:00 pm. This has been the largest flight of the tournament so far.

Edward Gilfillan is the first player from any flight to cross the 300,000 mark, so he is the overall chipleader so far.
There will be three more flights tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, and 7:00 pm, making the total field size even larger, and shattering the $150,000 guaranteed prizepool.
There were 375 players who started the 7:00 pm Day 1F of Event 6 ($125 No-Limit Hold’em w/ $150K Guarantee), and after eight levels, there are 126 remaining.
The players return from their second break to begin Level 9, with increased blinds of 400-800 and a 100 ante. The average chip stack is about 29,700, which is about 37 big blinds.
Here is a look at the top of the leaderboard from the break:
1. Nadim Faraj – 112,000 (140 bb)
2. Ben Sriqui – 86,000 (107 bb)
T-3. Peter Bejusca – 80,000 (100 bb)

Registration is now closed for Flight 1F in Event 6 ($125 No-Limit Hold’em w/ $150K Guarantee), which is the last flight of the day.
Unofficially, there are 376 entrants in Flight 1F, which brings the total field size for the tournament to 2,089. The guarantee of a $150,000 prizepool has already been reached, and with three more flights starting tomorrow (at 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, and 7:00 pm), it’s likely to be crushed.
Players can play in as many flights as they’d like, but they can only carry forward one chip stack to Day 1.
The Day 1F field has reached their first break after two hours of play, and some chipleaders have started to emerge. Here’s a look at the top of the leaderboard as the blinds increase to 150-300 with a 25 ante:

T-2. Hiram Garcia – 50,000 (166 bb)

The Day 1F starting flight for Event 6 ($125 no-limit hold’em – $150,000 guaranteed) has begun with blinds at 25-50 and starting stacks worth 10,000. They will play 14 30-minute levels with a 15-minute break every two levels this evening and play should end just before 3 a.m.
The total field size is already 1,911 players so the prize pool us up to $191,100. There are still quite a few starting flights that will take place during the next two days so that number could grow to 3,000 and double the guaranteed prize pool. Here is a breakdown of the remaining schedule for tomorrow.
Wednesday, August 14: Day 1G – 11 a.m.
Wednesday, August 14: Day 1H – 3 p.m.
Wednesday, August 14: Day 1I – 7 p.m.

With Day 1F still waiting to begin at 7 p.m. tonight the field size will be well over 2,000 by the end of play on Tuesday.
