Flight A is moving right along with less than 100 players remaining and two more levels to go. Jordan Meltzer is cruising towards the top of the counts but it looks like Anthony Hu holds the top spot with 195,000.

He recently mixed it up with Paul Balzano in a smaller pot but both are comfortable heading into the last levels of the evening.

David “Coldstone” Inselberg

The numbers were crunched and Flight A of the Mai Event officially drew 370 entries. That leaves only 297 needed tomorrow in Flight B to hit the $1 Million Guarantee. They should get there before the dinner break and start running it up.

David “Coldstone” Inselberg looks like the current chip leader with 150,000 but some big names are chasing him like Jake Schwartz, Paul Balzano, and series champs Martin Ryan and Jose Reyes.

“You’re all playing for second place boys!” LaRocca announced to the room as he moved over a starting stack.

Fish: AcKh
Opponent: AsTh

An easy call for the 2018 WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Champ with nearly 100,000 behind at the time. His dominating hand held up as the board ran QcJd6c5h3c to get the field one player shorter.

Martin Ryan

Martin Ryan is having a nice series. So much so that he now leads the WSOP Circuit Casino Championship race after winning Event 1, a fourth-place finish in Event 4, and a fourth-place finish today in the High Roller event.

The Main Event was on dinner break as Ryan was collecting his fourth-place money and he went straight to the registration desk. He came back with the rest of the Main Event field and immediately ran his 20,000 starting stack up to 100,000.

Stout’s nice heads-up hand was dominated by Dominique and he could not catch a miracle on the 6c3s2d5h7s board to exit in second.
