| Level: | 5 (300/500/500) |
| Entries: | 75/90 |
| Prizes: | $84,645 |
The prizes are nearly at $85k with more than 4 hours left to get into this opening flight. A 1a field of more than 100 looks like a lock at this point, and the only real question is how many more than that will buy in today.
About 30 minutes remain in Level 5, with the next break scheduled following Level 6. After that, there are still three more levels of poker, plus the dinner break, before entries close at around 7:15 PM. Another 17 entries for today’s flight will push the 1a prizes over $100k.
Among the players I’ve spotted out there today are Lilly Nguyen, Deven Lane, Ryan Cairns, Russ Sluchinski, Tony Ma, Alex Liu, and three-time runner-up this week, DJ Sharma.
