Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Thomas Mader has taken the lead in Level 5 despite losing two all in pots.
Mader would have 70,000 already had he busted the two short stacks who moved in on him. Instead he'll settle for 45,000 after finding success in several other pots.
He had kings against queens and a weak king for heaps early. Plus, a number of straights and flushes since that time have helped him build a stack.

A Hazy Shade of Winters
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Niagara Falls, NY's Tony Winters has seen two big pots vault him into a spot among the leaders now.
The first saw him crack kings with big slick when he turned an ace. The second was an up and down affair where he got it in with two jacks. He flopped a set, his opponent turned a straight, but he filled up on the river.
In the meantime, the board has pushed up over 100 entries and reentries for the flight. It's a packed house and should stay full for a little while longer with reentry available for four more levels.
Unfortunately, we will be without Michelle Grillo-Caldwell for the rest of the evening as she declined to fire another bullet when she busted moments ago. However, that should not discourage others from ringing the reentry bell, there's over $40,000 in the prizepool now and it goes up every time it dings.

Ringing The Reentry Bell
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
The reentry bell has been rung at a regular rate from the start tonight. With 89 entries on the board coming to the end of Level 3, this is already the largest flight of six so far. They're flying in, and then back in, at a record setting pace.
Leading the league in reentry so far is Maria 'Poker Queen' Parlatore, who has bought in three times. Cameron Bartolotta is a close second with two.
It looked like Ted Blaszczak might be getting ready to ring the bell as well, but it turns out he was just standing around hitting on one of the floor guy's daughters and had actually doubled up to join the leaders heading into the break.

Four Queens on Fremont
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Rob Burgstahler flopped quad queens, but that wasn't the end of his luck.
He was fortunate enough to have one opponent turn a flush and they got it all in.
The full double should give Burgstahler a share of the lead heading into the first break of the day.

Even Flow
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
It's a fast start in terms of the number of entries for this sixth and final flight.
So far the board reads 64 and counting, making this the first flight past 50 in Level 2.
The night flight's have been averaging around 75 players, but with registration and reentry available until the end of Level 8, and word spreading about this growing prizepool, it would not be a surprise to hit 100 tonight.
It's a wait and see kind of thing, although the group below isn't waiting, they're playing:
