Level:
Blinds: 100/200
Current Entries: 155
Current Players Remaining: 139
Live Stream Link: twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker

There's nearly 10,000 in the middle and a board reading Q♠8♣7♠A♠. The player in the hijack checks and Gennadiy Kostov announces that he is all in.  The hijack asks for a count and upon hearing the 5,600 total, he goes into the tank.

After two minutes of thinking, the hijack throws in a few chips to call.

Kostrov: J♣8♠ (pair of eights and a flush draw)
Hijack: k♦q♦ (pair of queens)

The 4♦ river does not improve Kostrov's hand, and he is eliminated from play with the option to re-enter.

Level: 2
Blinds: 50/100

According to Mike Clemente, he just took an early day hit after getting his aces cracked.

Clemente raised pre-flop and got three callers.

The flop came king-jack-seven. Clemente bet and got one caller.

The turn came a three.  Clemente shoved all in, and his opponent called, turning over king-jack for two pair.

Clemente was unable to improve on the river, and is now down to 4,000 in chips.

Mike Clement - 4,000

Event #1, Flight B Now Underway

The second of four starting flights is now underway for Event #1 - $600 NLH Re-Entry Multi-Flight.  The clock reads 76 entries at the beginning of play and that number is sure to steadily climb over the course of the day, as entries/re-entries are allowed up until the start of Level 9.
