Level 9: 400/800/100 ante

While our attention has been focused on the PLO final table, flight 1B of Event 1 has just returned from its second break of the day with 285 entrants showing on the clock. Mukul Pahuja, Robert Campbell, Michael Ortiz, Paula Barros, and Nigel Murray are just some of those regulars in the running.

That means registration is officially closed on this chapter with four more opening flights split between Friday and Saturday.

Event 1: Flight A Going in the Bag

by

$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 14:  Blinds 1,200/2,400/400 ante

Flight A of Event 1 has come to a close as players get the last four hands out of the way. Unofficially there are 65 players surviving from the starting of the 336 who started.

Nissin Vaknin appears to be the end of flight leader but we will have all the numbers once staff have them crunched. Among those 65 survives were Tristan Wade, Angel Vu, and Errol Massey but Marsha Wolak and Zach Kessler will have to wait for another shot.

Event 1: Vaknin Still Leads Flight A

by

$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Level 13:  Blinds 1k/2k/300 ante

Nissin Vaknin is still the chip leader and he has distanced himself from the field.  He’s up to about 325k.

He’s also sharing the felt with WSOP-E Bracelet winner Tristan Wade.  Tristan recently shipped 25,500 to the player on his right when his KcQc failed to improve against his opponent’s pocket 8s.

Tristan is still in fine shape, sitting behind about 150k.

Event 1: Vaknin Chipping Up

Level 12:  Blinds 800/1,600/200 ante

Nissin Vaknin

Nissin Vaknin (Davie, FL) has accumulated quite a stack.  He’s up to about 230k and lording it over his table.  He admitted he “got a lot of gifts” from “a bunch of donkeys”.  Of course those donkeys are gone and that doesn’t apply to his current table-mates.

Just after we chatted, his table broke and he was moved to a new table in search of more donkeys to donate.
