Tournament Director Mike Nelson has just announced that with 109 players already registered in this Day 1b flight, the $150,000 guarantee has now been met.
With a whole other flight remaining, and a further 5 hours of late registration and re-entry in this flight, it is a strong likelihood that the guarantee will be smashed as the field will no doubt creep up to the 400-player mark at this rate.
