Get 'em In The Air!
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
Cards and chips are in motion here in the Signature Room for Flight C of the Almighty Stack. There are 15 tables already in action with plenty of room for late arrivals. Today's flights will be considerably larger than the first two given that these are the "last chance" flights.
If the 26 tables in the Signature Room prove inadequate to handle the volume of players, additional tables will be used in the Poker Room.
Level: 2
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 200

Peace...a Good Way to Start the Day
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
Michael Wang is starting the day in good spirits, wishing us all Peace. Or is that a #2? Or perhaps a gang sign?
Peace sounds like a good way to go, so that's going to be our interpretation.
The WSOP bracelet winner, along with the rest of the room, are off to a slow and sleepy start this extra-early hour, but with 21 tables in action, it won't be long before the Signature Room overflows.

Litsou Looking to Parlay Success in Black Chip Bounty
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
Efthymia Litsou was the chip leader entering Day 2 of Event 4: $500 Black Chip Bounty NLH last week. She battled all the way to a third place finish, earning $12,741. That's her best live cash and doubled her previously reported live earnings.
On her final hand in the BCB, she got her chips in good with the lead, but got beat by eventual winner John Lytle. He had a flush draw when the chips went in on the flop and got there on the turn.
