WSOP Ladies champ Jacquelyn Scott had a great run late and has the biggest bag of those returning from Flight A.

Even as Flight A slowly moves towards the end of night, there was an interesting hand at Table 17 that got the field one person shorter. Former SHRP champion Mitchell Smith wasn’t in danger of going out but his stack was going to get much shorter when he ran his JcJh into pocket queens.

Smith wasn’t in danger long because the flop came out a very friendly JdJs2c. A good flop for his hand and he pushed Flight A down to 13 players.

The 2016 Coco Poker Open is cruising into the last weekend of the series and finishing things off with a big, multi-day tournament with a lot of money up for the grabs.

Event 13 is a $350 buy-in tournament with six starting flights and a very nice $250,000 guaranteed prize pool. The first flight kicked off at 11am this morning and drew 101 entrants and we expect even more for the 6pm run.

Each entrant starts with 16,000 in their stack and play 30-minute levels throughout the day. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 around 10:20 this evening and they will continue to play until 9% of the starting field remains. Those players will be in the money and bag up their chips for Day 2 on Sunday.

If players are unhappy with the amount they move forward, they can try again in later flights and advance their biggest stack while picking up a min-cash for the smaller stack.

Cards will fly at 6pm and continue until they are in the money and moving on.
