Play has just resumed in level 9, meaning that the late registration and re-entry period is now closed on Day 1A. But there was time for this flight to collect 183 entries, which was helped along by 33 re-entries. The top 26 finishers from this flight will advance to Day 2 and reach the money.

The current chip leader, Trevor Strutt, caught fire between the first and second breaks, running up the only stack in the field above the 200,000-chip mark, good for slightly more than 250 big blinds at this stage. Former chip leader Ara Asatoorian still has a healthy stack but has fallen down the leaderboard.
