CPPT Main Event
Level 9 (300/600/100)Total Entrants: 188
Players Remaining: 134
We've almost simultaneously closed the late registration period for Flight A and opened the action in Flight B of the $300,000 GTD Card Player Poker Tour Main Event as Flight A moves into Level 9 and the dealers in Flight B have just been given the go ahead to "shuffle up and deal".
Flight A's field has been frozen at 188 entrants, almost single handedly surpassing the original guarantee put on this event.
Of those 188, just over 130 remain and of those remaining players it will be interesting to see how many "survive" to the end of Day 1 as there are just under three hours of play remaining.
Flight B is just starting up in the front of the tournament area, with five tables currently running and close to a dozen total ready to house players for this later starting flight.
Flight B will follow the same structure as Flight A, 30,000 in starting chips, 40 minute levels through Day 1 and late registration running through Level 8.
Updates on the players in the Flight B field will come sporadically over the next few hours, with the main focus of the Foxwoods blog remaining on the first starting flight, following those players to the completion of their Day 1 A session.
