Event 5 Day 1D: Three Flights to Go

$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 25/50

Three flights are in the books for Event 5 and we have three more to go today. The $150 buy-in, $150,000 Guarantee tournament drew 778 entrants yesterday with 76 of them set to return tomorrow for Day 2.

The combined field is less than 500 entrants away from hitting that guaranteed prize pool and we should get there early this afternoon.

Ricard Eyzaguirre is the current chip leader when he bagged 330,000 with Marc Kropf, Arie Benmayor, Dejan Petkovic, and 2015 WPT World Champion Asher Conniff rounding out the top five.

Today’s structure will play out the same as yesterday’s. Entrants will sit down to 10,000 starting stacks and play 30-minute levels throughout the day. Late registration is open until the start of Level 7, around 2:20 this afternoon, and unlimited re-entries are available during that time.

Play will conclude at the end of Level 14 with survivors bagging up their chips and returning tomorrow to play down to a champion.
