Event #1, Flight B Concludes
With 13:54 minutes left in Level 18 (2,500/5,000 blinds and a 500 ante), two players were eliminated on the bubble, leaving 32 players to advance to Day 2 from this flight.
The player that started the hand with the most chips will still min-cash as 33 players from this flight made the money. That player is Mark Bulbulian. Because we do not have the prizepool yet, Mark will have to wait until Wed. to find out how much he cashed for. But in a seemingly unprecedented situation, we have our first casher of this event, before the prizepool is even determined.
We will bring you a full list of names and chip counts in the next hour or so.

Just before the start of the break Marsel Backa took a huge hit to his stack. As the blog staff approached the table the dealer was counting down a player's stack and the board in the middle read A♥Q♥J♣8♣3♠.
Backa had 10♣9♣ sitting in front of him (in middle position), and his opponent, Ryan Martin had K♣10♦ sitting in front of him (in the big blind).
As the dealer continued to count the player's stack, Backa filled us in on some of the details. Apparently the two players got it all in on the turn.
"I turned an open ended straight flush draw, I'm never going anywhere," Backa said.
Martin said, "You were the most active player at the table, I was just waiting to take one from you."
"Yeah, well, you needed a cooler like that to win one from me," Backa responded.
