This unique tournament permitted players to all starting flights and awarded an additional min-cash for each Day 2 a player advanced to after their first. This feat was accomplished by just one player — Joseph Patalano. Patalano bagged a mini, 2,000-chip stack in Flight A before snagging 67,500 chips in Flight D. For his efforts, he pocketed $185 before cards even went in the air this afternoon.

All Day 2 players are in the money and assured a score of at least $185.
