53 more

The final tally of entries in Day 1e is 53, meaning that this flight will play down to just 6 players remaining before play wraps up and the remaining players bag up their chips to return on Day 2. That total also means that there were a grand total of 751 entries across the first 5 starting flights of the 5-Year Anniversary event.

Good luck to all!

    Here are a few photos from Day 1e, the final turbo flight of the 5 that ran today in the 5-Year Extravaganza. Registration in the event is up to 50 players. Registration will close in about 20 minutes so although a few more players may join in, this is pretty close to the final tally for the flight.

    Play in Day 1c has reached the break following level 15 and there are just 28 players remaining of the 156 total entries that began play at 4pm. Among these 28 players are two huge chip leaders – Alex Arsenault with 292K and Francois Tarrab with 178K.

    Play will continue until 16 players remain.

    Day 1e is underway!

    The final starting flight of today’s 5 that are being played has just gotten underway. This flight is a turbo version of the same structure – meaning that blinds are just 15 minutes long all the way through until just 10% of the field remains.

    Action began just a few minutes ago but so far there are just 33 players at the tables – one of the more interesting pre-event questions was how many runners these turbo flights would attract.

    Good luck to everyone in the action tonight!

    New leaders in Day 1d

  • Level: 9
  • Small Blind: 400
  • Big Blind: 800
  • Ante: 100
  • Chip Average: 33.2K
  • Remaining: 84
  • Entries: 186

    The players in Day 1d are on a break and as they have left the table we were able to survey the tables and find that there are 3 particularly “rich” players – at least rich in tournament chips!

    So far, the leaders are Marc Antoine Gaudreau (134K), Behrooz Salemi (111K) and Izzy Coppola (107K). Considering that starting flights seem to be playing out over 18 levels to reach 10% of the field remaining, though, this flight is most likely only half way through to the end tonight – there is still a lot of time for other players to catch up or overtake these leaders!

    Day 1b is finally over

  • Level: 19

    After what can only be called an absurdly long period of hand for hand play on the bubble, play in Day 1b has finally ended with 24 players bagging up chips to return for Day 2 on Monday. Hand for hand play continued for 2.5 levels…

    Each flight ends with hand for hand play because they each finish when 10% of the field is left, and everyone who returns for Day 2 is in the money. So essentially, the end of a flight is also the money bubble in the tourney. This most recent flight ending saw things like pocket Queens folded by a late-position player with 6bb and the timing was *almost* there for a single-ante on single-ante showdown – though each of these players were on different tables. One player did end the flight with just 3 antes, however…
