Flight G Players Remaining:  157 of 1,009

The penultimate flight of Event 1 has come to an end with 157 survivors from a huge field of 1,009 entries, and Cristine Drake had a great day as she bagged up 473,500 to take the overall chip lead with just one flight to go.

Flight G Players Remaining:  180 of 1,009

The last level of Flight G is here and time is running out for the 180 remaining players to build a big Day 2 stack. There are several players contending for the overall lead and we are keeping an eye on them.

One surprise entrant is the game and trying to advance his first shot. John Gorsuch wasn’t even in the country this morning. The 2019 WSOP Millionaire Maker bracelet winner went deep in the partypokerLive Main Event in Aruba yesterday and hopped a plane this morning for the last starting day of RRPO Event 1.

Level 1:  100/100

The big Saturday in the Seminole Ballroom continues at 5 pm with the final flight of RRPO Event 1. The tournament reached its $1,000,000 guarantee before action kicked off this morning for Flight G and they’ve been pushing it higher ever since.

The prize pool currently sits a few dollars short of $1.3 million and they will surely put it over $1.5 million before registration closes for good.

Players will start with 20,000 deep stacks and all Day 1 levels last 30 minutes long. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 9:30 pm with unlimited re-entries during that time. Flight H will come to end after Level 14 and survivors will return tomorrow at noon for Day 2.

• $1,000,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
• Players begin with 20,000 in chips
• Day 1 levels last 30 minutes; Day 2 levels last 40 minutes
• Late registration/re-entry available until start of Level 9
• Day 1 will end after Level 14 or Tournament Director discretion

Flight G Entries: 1,009

We tracked down the top stacks in the room during the second break and the biggest belonged to Robert Mizrachi. The four-time WSOP bracelet was a late entrant and still spun his 20,000 starting stack up to 165,000 by the time registration closed.

Mizrachi’s tablemate Greg Spinder is second with 150,000 followed by Yaniv Meir (132,000), Eric Reilly (129,000), and Song O (126,600) rounding out the top five.

Registration closed on the seventh of eight starting flights for RRPO Event 1 and it was a big one. The accounting shows 1,009 entries this afternoon to make it the second biggest (non-Championship) starting flight in our history.

The combined total is up to 3,792 (good for sixth on the all-time list) with an entire flight remaining to push it higher.

Flight H kicks off at 5 pm with late registration available until 9:30 pm.

The clock is ticking down to get a seat in Flight G, they will take a break in 15 minutes and registration will close when they return at 3:30 pm.

We found a few more travelers in the field who have success in the Sunshine State. David Moses comes to us from South Carolina and he picked up his first career WSOP Circuit ring last winter at our sister room in Coconut Creek.

JP Kolp hails from Lousiana and followed Moses’ suit this past September when he won the WSOPC Coco $400 Monster Stack for a $43K payout.
