So far there have been 930 entries in the 5 starting flights that have already been completed, which means that the $200,000 has been surpassed and each new entry simply adds more to an already large prize pool. There are already 142 players registered tonight and the tournament starts in just minutes…
Event 3 Day 1e final counts
The 5th of the 6 starting flights in Event 3, The $250 Frenzy, has now come to a close with 44 of the 217 entries surviving to qualify for Day 2. The 217 entries today brings the total number of entries in the event to 930. The prize pool has therefore already surpassed the guaranteed $200,000 and every additional entry in tonight’s Day 1f will add more cash to an already huge prize pool!
Players who have not yet qualified for Day 2 have one more chance – Day 1f is on now!

Simon rockets to the top
Antoine Simon has rocketed to the top of the leaderboard half way through level 12, having accumulated just a shade under 200,000 in chips! The previous chip leaders (Edmond, Andrew, Tina) are all still doing well today, but Antoine has taken a 55K lead on the rest of the field. That being said, these last 2-3 levels of the day are poker’s equivalent of “moving day” and dreams can be realized – and dashed – in the big pots at the end of a Day 1.

Familiar names on the leaderboard
Tournament staff has just removed the green T25 chips from play as players took their second break of the day, and during the break we identified the leaders in this starting flight so far. The names on the leaderboard should be pretty familiar – the top 2 players are the same as the leaders at the first break, while the new player in 3rd place was also the champion of Event 1! These three players are the only ones with 6-figure stacks to date – but they’ll be joined by many more in the next few levels.
Play continues in level 9.
- Edmond Dupuis Soulière – 149,800 chips
- Andrew Dick – 106,200 chips
- Tina S – 100,300 chips
