Level 12: 1,000/2,000/300 Ante
Flight C Players Remaining: 27 of 109

From 109 starting, just 27 remain in Flight C of the $250,000 guaranteed Coco Poker Open $350. Among them are Gregory Marcus, John Holley, Ramon Miguel, Howard Mash and Michael Newman. World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Jonathan Hilton recently hit the rail.

Final three tables:

Level 10: 600/1,200/200 Ante
Flight C Players Remaining: 30 of 109

Like John Holley, World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Jonathan Hilton late registered just prior to Level 9. He took his seat to 16,000 starting chips and has turned those holding into 42,000 over the course of less than two levels.

Most recently, Hilton lead with a flush and got value off heads up runner up Howard Mash. Hilton took the pot and Mash grumbled in disgust.

Level 9: 500/1,000/100 Ante
Flight C Players Remaining: 45 of 109

One of the last entries in Flight C was John Holley. Holley, who’s been on site for the majority of the series and notched numerous cashes including three in one day, entered the $350 during the last break and took his seat right after. He promptly got some change for his big chips, anted up and moved all-in from early position on the very first hand. Every got out of the way and with that, Holley was above starting stack.

Level 4: 150/300
Flight C Players: 85

David Maslowski is in a different world than the rest of the competition early in Flight C of the Coco Poker Open $250,000 guarantee. He’s turned his 16,000 starting chips into nearly 80,000 and holds a better than two-to-one advantage over the rest of the field.

There’s a long way to go, but his stack is already better than five of the 16 advancers from yesterday’s opening flights.

Here’s a look at some of the other counts following the break:

David Maslowski – 79,900
David Wolfe – 39,475
Marco Oliveira – 35,675
Yves Fequiere – 33,525
Leonard St. Germain – 27,300
Rob Kessler – 16,000
Marsha Wolak – 6,500

Level 3: 75/150
Flight C Players: 62

Marsh Wolak has been around all week and started out with a bang following a 4th-place finish in the Championship good for a $70,000 score. Howard Mash, meanwhile, is a past Coco Poker Open Champion and narrowly missed back-to-back titleS when he finished runner-up in the Heads-Up event just a few days ago.

Ramon Miguel and Manuel Soltero are regulars on the South Florida felt. While Soltero owns a Coconut Creek victory, Ramon Miguel is stills searching for his. He did finish 3rd in the Everglades Poker Open $350 for $13,941 just a couple weeks ago though.

Level 2: 50/100
Flight C Players: 54

The entry count surpassed 50 late in Level 1 and sits at 54 early in Level 2. That puts it slightly ahead of pace of yesterday’s noon flight and it’s expected to continue to grow between now and registration closing at about 3:30pm.

We’ll take a look at some of the notable participants shortly.
