Level 5: 200/400 with a 400 ante
Flight C Entries: 334

Flight C players returned from break and the entry count jumped over 300 while they were gone. It climbed further after the return and we are putting up another big number.

We have a few growing stacks in the room but Jill Fiorentino has the biggest with 110,000 from her 20,000 starting stack after two hours. That’s a fine start to her day and she’s in good position for a late run.

Level 4: 200/300 with a 300 ante
Flight C Entries: 294

Flight C is nearing its first break of the day and they are close to topping 300 entries. It should easily pass yesterday’s two big flights and they will only get bigger over the weekend.

Michael Cohen is one of the early entrants with a nice track record in big SHRP events. He made two Championship final tables in 2017, the Main Events at WPTDeepStacks Tampa and Seminole Immokalee Poker Challenge, and followed his WPTDS second place finish with another runner-up this past June.

There were 39 players that made it through the second starting flight and Marc Bronstein went on a heater in the last level of the day to finish with both the Day 1B chip lead and overtake Carlo Rodriguez for the overall chip lead.

Bronstein finished Day 1B with 434,500, which puts a little distance between Bronstein and the 370,000 that Rodriguez finished the first flight with. Keith Suckno was the only other player from Day 1B to finish with over 300,000. He finished with 303,000 in chips
