Day 1A Entries:  271

The last level of the night is here and the field continues to shrink at a slow pace. There are still 54 players in the mix and every one of them is trying to find a bag at the end of the night.

Fred White is the latest to make a late run and the Coco Poker regular is up to 285,000 heading into the twilight of Flight A. An interesting bit on his Hendon Mob entry; in 1987, White earned a cool $100,000 at the old Riviera Casino in Las Vegas for winning a game called California Lowball.

Day 1A Entries:  270

Blinds are up and the field is down to seven tables with the end of the Flight in sight. With the slow structure, there are still plenty of players in contention with nearly a quarter of the starters still in play. They’ve put more than $90,000 in the prize pool and the guarantee will easily be reached tomorrow morning.

Level 11: 1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 ante
Day 1A Entries:  261

Flight A is cruising towards the last break of the day and Cesar Fuentes is making a move to join the leaders. The 2019 WPT RRPO final tablist is up to 197,000 and has one of the bigger stacks in the room.

Once Level 11 comes to an end, players will take one last 10-minute break and return for the final three levels of the day.

Day 1A Entries:  256

The entry count climbed over 250 as Flight A cruised into Level 10 and it is creeping up on the $100,000 guarantee. It doesn’t look like it will hit that number this evening but it will be there before cards go in the air for Flight B.

A few more regulars include Zachary Eichenbaum, Pedro Palacio, Scott Zakhem, and Phil Hui.

Blinds are up and the entry count jumped over 200 to leave the field only 100 away from making the $100,000 guarantee early in the tournament. A wonderful turnout to start the series and it’s only going to get bigger when we see the weekend crowd join.
