$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 25/50
The entrant count for 1C is closing in on 200 at the end of the first level with more regular back in action including Ory Hen and Eric Piderit.
The field did get shorter in the first level when Michael Fryett sent one to the rail before the blinds went up. He moved all-in with the board reading 
and his opponent called after a short tank. He tabled 
but his flush was drawing dead against Freyett’s nut flush 
.

Level 12: 600/1,200/200 Ante
As we hit the final level before the players’ last break, two more grinders are making a late push to Day 2 on a table we’d visited before.
The table that saw the earlier duel with Steven Kasimow and Julie Ngo now has Ivan Saul and Daniel Vanbronkhosrt storming out on late runs. Saul appears to be among the top stacks in the room and Vanbronkhorst is holding a nice stack of 5k chips and looking toward a berth on Sunday as well.
Play continues on with 126 players left in Flight 1B.

On the far side of the room from Steven Kasimow, another player is announcing his presence with authority.
Christopher Hansen has managed to find his way to one of the biggest stacks in the room. Hansen has built his chip stack up to around 179,000 and is looming large here in Flight 1B.
144 players remain alive tonight as we move toward Level 12 in about 20 minutes.

Level 10: 500/1,000/100 Ante
Checking around the room we saw Julie Ngo having amassed enough chips to look like she may be out in front of the flight. But a huge hand against Steven Kaismow changed that in a hurry.
One opponent had pushed a short stack into the middle after a 
flop and Kasimow went over the top all-in for around 62,000. Ngo had already started the action in the hand and then decided to make the call setting up the three-way action.
Their opponent flipped over 
looking for a straight but Kasimow already had one with 
and Ngo turned over 
for the nut flush draw looking for the double elimination. But after the board ran out 
, all the chips went Kasimow’s way putting him near the 150,000 chip mark.
171 players are still alive here in Flight 1B as play continues.
