Event #10: $350+$50 Almighty Stack NLH Re-Entry boasts a whopping $750,000 guarantee and over the course of this week will give players a crack at it with six starting flights. Two of those flights ran yesterday and saw a total of 523 entrants take their shot with approximately 110 advancing to Friday's Day 2.
The third flight begins today with Flight C at 11 a.m. followed by Flight D at 5 p.m.. Here’s a look at the remaining schedule for this event:

The tournament starts players with a massive starting stack of 100,000 in chips. Late registration and re-entries will remain open in each flight until the start of Level 13 (about 5:45pm).

Miller on Second Bullet - Today
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
Somehow Igor Miller managed to get all of his 100,000 starting stack in on the second hand he played today — and lost. He had pocket Jacks and ran into pocket Queens.
The board brought no salvation and he was felted...but thanks to the re-entry feature of this event, he's already back in a new seat with a fresh 100,000 stack.

Yarom Singes Singh
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
In a battle of the blinds. Melisa Singh opened from the small and Bruce Yamron called from the big. The flop fell 
and Singh fired 20,000, which Yamron called.
Turn was offsuit, 
and all the chips went in. Singh had 
for the nut flush draw, but Yamron had made a straight on the turn with his 
.
The river bricked and Singh was felted, but we expect she'll be back. Yamron has doubled his starting stack here early in Flight C.
