Day 1h had a total of 209 entries and played down on Day 1 to the following 21 players remaining.

The following are player-provided counts and although we do our utmost to verify that players are reporting their precise count, it’s the physical chips sealed in their bags which are returned to play on Day 2.

Day 1h is now complete, as only 21 players remain of the 209 runners that began the flight.

Miguel Lefebvre was the chip leader at the end of the night, as he managed to bag a massive 434,500 in chips. Other notable stacks are those of Reginald Charles (401,500) and Patrick St-Onge (365,000).

Registration has just closed in Day 1h, and a total of 209 players turned up for this flight. This brings our total number of entries up to 1290 after 8 flights, with still 2 more flights to go. Day 1h will play down until 21 players remain.

After only 4 levels of play, Miguel Lefebvre has managed to accumulate over 150,000 in chips so far, which is actually the rough average stack at the completion of Day 1. His stack dwarfs any other player’s stack in this flight so far, but the day is far from over.

The 7th starting flight to the 5-Year Extravaganza is well underway now, as play has just reached level 2 in Day 1h. There are already 144 players seated in this flight, and late registration is still open for around another hour or so, as it closes at 5:30pm. Through the first 6 flights, we’ve seen an impressive 1081 entries up to date, well surpassing the $55,555 guarantee.

Anyone wishing to participate in this event still has the chance, by either jumping into Day 1h before 5:30pm, or by registering in either of the two remaining flights tonight, with Day 1i scheduled at 7pm, and Day 1j at 10pm.

As with the other flights, play will resume in Day 1h once 10% of the field has been reached, and all players that make it through to Day 2 are guaranteed a spot in the money.

Good luck!
