Mike "The Mayor" Rellinger came ready to fire tonight and was just seen ringing the re-entry bell for what will surely be the first of many times this evening.
Rellinger spent about an hour annoying everyone and dumping chips at his first table before eventually shoving fours for peanuts over a raise. The raiser had jacks and they held.
The table rejoiced when they saw Rellinger taking his new seat at a table across the room. Finally, some peace and quiet.
Two of the 18 players who bagged up chips in the early flight today are back at it again here tonight.
Although their motives may differ, both are taking advantage of the best stack forward rule, allowing players who bag in one flight to play again in another and carry their best stack forward.
For Hayden Glassman, the 45,000 he bagged in the first flight may not seem like enough to give him a real shot to compete Sunday. As a result, he's here trying to better that in flight two.
Carol Leonardi already has around 100,000 going into Sunday's Day 2, so her reasons for playing are a little different.
Leonardi has a passion for poker and is using the flight to work on her game.
Both have less than a starting stack heading into the 15-minute color up break at the end of this level, but no matter what happens, they'll be here come Day 2.
