We are nearing the last break of the night, and players are in the last stages of the this Day 1d flight. During this break an update of the leaders will be provided. With still 116 runners in play out of the initial 342 we can expect to see a lot of players in Day 2.

With the players on a short break following level 8, we took a stroll around the tournament hall to find the current chip leaders. With the average player sitting on almost 40,000, we found 4 players who have breached the 6-figure mark. Interestingly, two of these four players find themselves shoulder to shoulder on table 56.
Here is a look at the top 4 stacks entering level 9:
We witnessed a huge hand just minutes after players returned from their recent break. The hand was between Dany Madri and Cedric Meyer, and the river card made both players very very happy… until Dany saw his opponent’s hole cards…

Dany’s nut flush… wasn’t the nuts at all!
The next break is coming up soon and during this break the tournament staff will remove the T25 chips from play. This break will also give us the opportunity to get a full list of leaders after 8 blind levels.

Registration in this final starting flight in The Wild $150 continues to grow, and there are already some very impressively experienced players in the field. There are a few big name players, a few players with significant international experience and results, and quite a few players who have gone deep – in some cases, very deep – in past editions of this very event!
Some of the players of note:
…and more.

Three of the four Day 1s of this edition of The Wild $150 are in the books with just a single starting flight left to go – Day 1d, tonight at 7:00pm! There have already been 826 total entries in the event, and with the prize pool guarantee already surpassed, every additional entry tonight will just add more money to an already sizeable prize pool!
Of the 826 entries, 168 players have qualified for Day 2 so far. One player has qualified through 2 different Day 1s, however, so that player’s smallest stack will be removed from play and going into the final starting flight there are 167 players set to resume play in Day 2. The following table lists all of the qualifiers so far through the first three flights in the tournament.
Tonight’s qualifiers will be added to this list, which means that Day 2 is certain to be a busy day with at least 200 and probably more like 230 or 240 returning to the tables tomorrow night. The results of tonight’s starting flight will tell the tale!
