Registration is now closed, and there were 174 entries in Flight 1B — four more than the 170 in Flight 1A. There will be a total of six starting flights (three today, three tomorrow), and the field is already up to 344.

If you missed the registration deadline, do not despair, because Flight 1C begins at 7pm. This should be the flight that reaches the guaranteed prizepool of $100,000, and with three more starting flights tomorrow, the total prizepool could double the guarantee.

There are currently 79 players remaining in Flight 1B (average stack: 26,500), and action will continue until the end of Level 14 (around 10:45 pm).

Level 5: 150/300/25 Ante

The Flight 1B players are back from their first break with two more levels before registration closes for this flight. There were 170 entries for Flight 1A, and there are currently 154 and counting for Flight 1B.

The total combined field is up to 324, needs to reach 400 entries to reach the guaranteed prizepool of $100,000. With four more starting flights, the prizepool will sail over the guarantee, potentially doubling it.

For those who are want to enter this evening, there’s a third flight kicking off at 7pm.

Level 7: 500/1,000 Limits

Good players can’t turn down a good deal and Ari Engel knows a good one when he sees it.

Engel is deep in Flight 1A of Event 1 and he heard this tournament would have an overlay once registration was closed. His seat in Event 1A is close to the Event 2 field so he decided to double his poker fun.

The 7-time WSOP Circuit champion was the 51st player to put his money into the Omaha/8 tournament and he’s getting some nice cardio running back and forth.

Level 6: 400/800 Limits

Players are a few bonus minutes of break time to straighten out a few small issues but they are back underway.

The final number is 51 entrants for Event 2 to also give them some bonus money in the form of a small overlay. The prize pool with pay out $20,000 and we’ll have the official payouts as soon as they are available.

The Omaha/8 players are on their second break of the day looking at a nice overlay with just 50 in the field.

There are 15 minutes left to get a piece of the $20,000 prize pool and the first title of the series.

There’s no slowing them down it seems. Flight 1A dropped another table shortly after they returned from the second break to bring the remaining total to less than 63.

Zach Kessler and Ari Engel are a few of the notables left in the rapidly shrinking field.
