Event #74: The Little One for One Drop - $1,000 +111 No-Limit Hold'em
Day 1b Completed
The second of three starting flights in the Little One for One Drop saw a grand total of 1,220 entries, and Neng Lee was in the pole position of the 197 who bagged chips with 214,700. Hot on his heels is Chunlei Yuan, who scored quite an entertaining knockout of Jesse Yaginuma earlier in the day. He bagged up 201,400, and is the only other player over the 200,000 marker.
Joining those two in the bagging process tonight are three players who are looking for another bracelet this summer. David Bach bagged up 78,700 in his quest for the rare triple bracelet in the same year. Upeshka De Silva (91,400) and Ben Yu (83,800) are also looking to pick up another piece of hardware to end the summer.
Other notables who will be coming back on Friday are Paul Volpe (138,200), Dan Heimiller (127,300), Daniel Strelitz (77,200), and Jeff Gross (18,200).
Of course, not everyone was as fortunate as the above mentioned players. Some of the many players who came and went today were Allen Kessler, Maurice Hawkins, Martin Jacobson, James Calderaro, William Kassouf, John Racener, Calvin Anderson, Chris Klodnicki and Kelly Minkin.
All of these players will have one more chance to qualify in Thursday's Flight 1C, which will likely be the biggest one of the event. With unlimited re-entries available, the chips will be flying, as players are hoping to end the summer with a bang. The action will be starting up at 3 p.m., so be sure to come back here for all of your updates!
