The board now reads 49 entries as latecomers continue to hit the cage to register for today's third Day 1 flight.
Among those who just took a seat is Event #3 runner-up Cameron Bartolotta. It was a busy weekend for Bartolotta as he also made the final table of Event #1, finishing seventh.
David Hanner has found an early double up.
The Austrian turned Buffalonian flopped a set of queens and was lucky enough to get one player willing to get all his chips in the middle with king-high.
Needles to say, the set held.

Boncore is one of a few familiar faces in the field today who also played one of the two Day 1 flights Monday.
