Each of the first four starting flights for this event has seen at least 100 entries.
While Day 1e is not there yet, it is certainly on it's way with the board currently reading 71 and the appearance of a slow but steady stream of players ready to enter and re-enter constantly flowing towards the cage.
Peter Raimondi has jumped out to the early lead after raking in a big pot.
He bumped it to 600, getting two callers to a 
flop. It checked around, but he continued for 1,400 and both players flatted on the turn.
Finally, when one opponent bet 2,650 on the 
river, Raimondi pushed in for 7,950 total. The third player in the hand called, but folded when the player who led out pushed all in for more, revealing 
for the second nut flush.
Unfortunately for him, it was Raimondi who had 
for the nut flush and scooped it all.
