We took a peek in the Meeting Room and found a pretty view. The $600 Big O had a huge turnout before the first break, with 74 entries, and we are still waiting on many of our Omaha regulars. They are on pace to make this our biggest field for this event, and that’s nice.

Some early grinders include Zhen Cai, Dimas Martinez, Gabe Ramose, Chris Labrie, Brandon Ageloff, Michael Rosenberg, and Ryan Hoenig.

Flight A will continue until 50 players remain and survivors will return for Day 2 on Sunday at 1 pm in the money. Players must bag chips to cash in the tournament.

The chip leader at the end of the flight will be in a good position to earn a Club WPT Gold Passport. The biggest stack to start Day 2 will be awarded the Gold Passport, good for an entry into their $5 Million Freeroll, which takes place at Wynn Las Vegas on Dec 13-15, 2024.
