We thought Flight B would push the prize pool over the $100,000 guarantee in the early afternoon, we were incorrect. The prize pool topped that mark before the clock hit noon and we’ve added a bit more since.

Players will cruise through Level 3 before taking their first break and we are looking at another big day.

The last break ended, players returned to their seats, and they are set to play three more levels before the bags come up.

Steve Wiggers was among the leaders at the dinner break and sits atop the counts with 381,500. He’s in a tie with one other player; the chips were triple-checked, but that player is taking their time coming back from break.

Art Peacock is still in the mix with 313,500 and several others closing on 300K.
