The tournament staff and dealers are frantically setting up after the completion of Day 1C - making sure the chip stacks are right, the card setup looks good, and that the hundreds of people waiting to play will have a place to play. The registration line is long, which is to be expected with this last flight of this $1m Guaranteed tournament. There were over 800 players earlier today and tonight looks to be just as busy. Cards should be in the air soon and the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be here covering all the action from start to finish.

Cards are in the Air!
It took a little while to get every one situated but we're finally underway here at Borgata with the final flight. The room is packed and there is overflow in the poker room. We'll be back soon with some names of who's here looking to make it through to Day 2 tomorrow.
Filing in...
The registration line is backed up, out of the poker room and all the way down to the Wolfgang Puck eatery. Among those in line are Anna Khait and Lana O'Brien. Plenty have already taken their seat including Brett Richey and Micah Raskin, who is giving it another shot after countless attempts in the first three flights. Others joining those two are Maggie Morris, Nancy Martin, Michael Marder, Tim Little, and Jason Rivkin.

No Es-Khait for Anna
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
We catch up to the action at Anna Khait's table with the board showing 
. Anna has checked and her opponent, two spots to her left, fires out a bet of 4,500. Khait thinks for a moment and makes the call.
The river is the 
and Khait quickly checks. Her opponent fires out another bet, this time for 10,200. Anna's eyes dart over and she grabs her phone and turns the screen off. She looks down at the board and tilts her neck back and forth as if it is sore. Chips are shuffling in her right hand and a perplexed look comes over her face as she peeks at her cards and then glances back at her foe.
Khait looks as if she is going to call when she takes two 5,000 chips and places them on her stack of 100 chips. She motions to the dealer with one finger as if to say "just a minute" and then takes the 5,000 chips back off the 100 chips. She pushes her chair back slightly and asks her nemesis "show if I fold?"
He is silent. No response. Khait fiddles with her hair and then decides to make the call. Her opponent shows 
for a flopped set of deuces and Anna mucks, sticks her tongue out slightly in frustration and shakes her head.

The Dannen-Mann
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Steve Dannenmann is in the house, and whenever the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up is around there are likely to be more smiles than usual.
America fell in love with the Maryland native when he made is deep run in the Big One because of his carefree mentality, and his down-to-Earth mantra is unchanged.
After banking $4.25 million in 2005, some of Dannenmann's biggest scores have come right here at Borgata. He finished 11th in the 2008 WPT Borgata Poker Open for $65,000, and took down a side event in the 2011 Borgata Winter Open for $37,679.
