Level 5: 200/300 with a 300 ante
Flight A Entries: 189

Players returned to their seats and cards are back in the air. The field is closing in on 200 entries with plenty of time to build it up and they are on pace to top last year’s numbers.

While they were gone, we found a few big stacks in the room but none could match Mike Cervantes. He ran his 30,000 starting stack up to 93,900 in four levels to pace the field for the early lead on Day 1A. He also has some nice, recent history in this tournament, but from afar. Cervantes played the WSOP Circuit at Thunder Valley in California, entered their Monster Stack tournament and finished third out of 500 entries for nearly $15,000.
