Registration has closed for Day 1A of Event 1 and the final count is an impressive 415 entries with five more flights available. Players were given the option of surrendering their stack before the end of Level 6 to make the re-entry period but Zach Kessler did it the old-fashioned way.
Shortly before the end of the level, Kessler was all-in top pair decent kicker before his opponent ran out a nut flush versus his second nut. Getting stacked isn’t fun but the timing helped. Kessler is back in the game and they have nine more levels for the day.
