Level 16:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Flight E Players Remaining:  76 of 607

Flight E was playing down to the final 76 players, and when it was time to begin play on the Money Bubble, somebody busted at one of the other tables. So the remaining 76 players were in the money with no need for hand-for-hand play.

Action ended in Level 16, but earlier flights finished at Level 15, with blinds at 2,000-4,000 and a 4,000 ante. Day 2 will begin on Sunday at 1:00 pm with blinds at the same point as the starting flight that finished earliest.

Of the 76 survivors from this flight, the biggest stack belongs to Caleb Harris, who bagged up 495,000 (99 big blinds). The full list of official chip counts will be posted later tonight, but here is a look at the five players who finished with more than 300K:

1.  Caleb Harris  –  495,000  (99 bb)
2.  Gorazd Janevski  –  411,000  (82 bb)
3.  Ariel Williams  –  376,000  (75 bb)
4.  Maikel Cruz  –  347,000  (69 bb)
5.  David Hass  –  311,000  (62 bb)

Flight F is already underway, and registration remains open with unlimited re-entries until the start of Level 9 (9:30 pm). Each flight will play down to the final 12.5% of the field, and everyone who advances to Day 2 will be in the money.

Level 16:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Flight E Players Remaining:  79 of 607

A few spots away from the money, a player moved all in from middle position for about 100,000, and Caleb Harris moved all in over the top from the cutoff for more than 300,000. Everyone else folded.

The shorter stack turned over , and needed it to hold to stay alive against Harris’s .

The board came , and Harris paired his king on the flop to win the pot and eliminate his opponent in roughly 80th place.

There’s still plenty of action in Flight E before they can even start to think about the money bubble but Table 10 has a few doing their best to set themselves up for a big run.

Daniel Pearlman looks like the leader in the room at the moment, stacked up to 260,000. Gabe Fuller is doing just fine in the 1-seat with 187,000 and defending WPT Showdown Champ Art Peacock has about 160,000 sitting between those two.
