Flight A has come to an end and we have 75 players still around with a seat for Day 2 on Sunday. Joshua Hood came on strong at the end of the day and the Brazilian put 536,000 in his bag.

Others making it through include Brian Hastings, Wally Maddah, Jerry Wong, Mitchell Lekarczyk, David Inselberg, and James Calderaro.

We will post the entire Flight A chip counts as soon as they are available.

Jerry Wong

Flight A reached the last level of the day with nine tables left in action and 40 minutes to run up a stack for Day 2. We have several players in contention for the end-of-night lead and we are tracking them down.

Our two most recent champions are still in the game, though one came in really late. Jerry Wong is fresh off his High Roller title and he finished it with just enough time to max late reg the Main Event. Mitchell Lekarczyk was here yesterday into the early morning hours after he captured the Monster Stack title.

Both are looking good for a Day 2 bag.

The accounting is complete and Flight A of the $1 Million Guarantee WSOP Circuit Main Event drew 323 entries. That is a good number for a Friday afternoon/evening of poker and tomorrow’s number will be bigger as they near the seven-digit prize pool mark.

There are 126 players remaining and we expect that number to drop much lower before they bag up after Level 15.

Scott Baumstein (left) and Zo Karim (right)

As one would expect with a WSOP Circuit Main Event, we have champions in the field from around the state, country, and world mixing with our local favorites.

We have a table in the middle of the room featuring a few of them. Howard Mash has several Coco Poker titles and he is facing Scott Baumstein and Zo Karim on the other side of the table. Baumstein booked his biggest cash earlier this year when he won the WPTDeepStacks Hollywood Main Event and Karim is the current front-runner for the WSOP Circuit Coco Casino Championship with four cashes and two third-place finishes this series so far.
