Level 13: 1,500/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 81 of 341

The Flight A field took their final break of the day and they have less than an hour remaining. They will play out Levels 13 and 14 and those with chips will bag up for a return on Sunday.

There are no huge stacks standing out but Carey Pickus is making a run to the top. She sits with 154,000 and in good shape to make it through. Pickus is on a little heater with two final tables in our Friday Big Stack tournament in the last month and it seems to be continuing.

If she advances to Day 2, she’ll be able to play the H.O.R.S.E. tournament tomorrow after finishing runner-up to Phil Hui in the same event last year.

Cards are back in the air and registration is closed on the first of eight flights for Event 1. The tournament clock shows 341 entries but we will wait for the official accounting to be complete to lock it in.
