Flight A of LHPO Event 2 is quickly playing down toward its money bubble. Only 47 of the 85 remaining will advance to Day 2 on Sunday in the money, they need to start making plans to make that happen.

Among those still in contention, we found former WPT Showdown Champ James Carroll, Noah Schwartz, Jeff Kessler (after being down to two big blinds when reg closed), and Paul Lacroix.
