Players have bagged for the night and Reece Lightner (Hollywood, FL) is not only the Flight C chip leader with 594k, but has the overall chip lead heading into Day 2.

~300 total players remain from all three flights with an average stack of 181k (36 bb).

Registration remains open until the tournament resumes noon Sunday. Players can buy-in for $330 and get a full 30k stack as levels move to 90 minutes in length.

The total prize pool currently stands at nearly $520,000 with first place at more than $115,000 (198 places paid).

Because of the large number of players remaining, the full list of chip counts, along with the Day 2 table draw, will be posted sometime after 10 am.
