There were 111 entries in the first starting flight of The $250 Frenzy, and after 14 levels of play, 22 players had chips and have therefore qualified for Day 2 of the tournament, to be held Monday February 6th at 7:00pm.

There are 5 more Day 1s in the tournament, and any player can play as many of them as he or she wishes – if a player qualifies for Day 2 through multiple flights, their largest stack will be carried through and their other stacks will be removed from play.
