But there’s still plenty of chances in other flights; the next goes at 5 pm with late registration until 9:30 pm and two more huge chances tomorrow to close out the tournament.

The only thing that can slow down the entry count building higher is the first break. Even then, we’ll stick pick up a few new players while they are away from the tables.

They have put more than $700K toward the $1,000,000 guarantee and we should get there very early Saturday morning.
