Event #1: $600 Deepstack Kick-Off
Day: 1d
Flight D Eclipses First Three Combined
Level 11
: 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
With 1,452 entries in Flight D, it has surpassed the total number of entries in the first three starting flights combined (1,438).
That brings the over-all total number of entries to 2,890 and leaves just 814 needed to cover the $2 Million Guarantee.
Only about 720 remain in action, so more than half the entrants have already reported to the rail.
Registration is still open for this flight, so we'll see a few more stragglers, despite the fact that starting in this level (800/1,500/1,500) means sitting down with only ~17 big blinds.

Hinds Runs Into Set, Back to Starting Stack
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a flop of 
John Hinds (utg) bet 6,000 and got a flat from the player in Seat 3 (cutoff). Both players checked the 
turn, then when the 
completed the board, Hinds tossed in all his blue chips (25,000), covering his opponent.
Seat 3 wasted no time calling all-in for his last 17,000. Hinds tabled 
for a pair of Aces, but he was crushed by his opponent's 
, which had flopped a set and turned a full house.
After that loss, Hinds was back to starting stack size (12.5 big blinds at this level).
