The timer has just sounded to indicate the start of the seventh level of play and the end of the late registration and re-entry period on Day 1C. As expected, there was a late rush to the cashier as the timer ticked down that pushed the number of re-entries up to 17, a substantial part of the 110 total entries.
At the midway point of this flight, 80 players are still in contention, competing for the 2.75 million in chips in play. As the busiest starting flight yet, there are enough chips in play to easily create a new overall chip leader, but if anyone hopes to catch Ami Alibay, who bagged over 400K in chips, they have their work cut out for them.
