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)
T-3.  Michael Johnson  –  80,000  (100 bb)

Action will continue tonight until the end of Level 14, which should be around 2:40 am ET.

There were 406 players who started the 3:00 pm Day 1E of Event 6 ($125 No-Limit Hold’em w/ $150K Guarantee), and as they return from the last break of the day, there are 54 players remaining.

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:

There were 278 entrants in Flight 1D of Event 6 ($125 No-Limit Hold’em w/ $150K Guarantee), which started at 11:00 am.
