Level 13:  1,500/2,500 with a 2,500 ante
Flight E Players Remaining:  135 of 672

We have a new big stack in the Grand Ballroom and it belongs to Niall Costigan. He is up to 460,000 after eliminating Jeremy Becker, and he had a little fun along the way.

It seems Becker laid a friendly slow roll on Costigan’s friend, and he vowed to get a little revenge for his friend if he ever had the chance.

Two years later (a slow burn on the slow roll), that chance came around and Becker was on the other end of a slow roll from Costigan before he exited Flight E.

Dan Iman is the late leader with a handful of levels left in the day. He is up to 286,000 but plenty of players trying to chase him down.

Busy day in the Grand Ballroom with Flight E players packing the place, but it’s about to empty when they take their first break.

They are nearing the $700K mark on the way to the $1,000,000 guarantee and it looks like we’ll get there early tomorrow. Then they’ll spin it up.
