This flight starts with a big number on the board. There's 81 entries and counting with a steady stream of players walking up to the cage to register.

There's a solid group of memorable faces in the crowd tonight as well, highlighted by Julie 'Bang Bang' Billiteri, whose unforgettable run from satellite winner to final table participant in the 2016 Summer Slam Main Event is always remembered fondly by all who witnessed it.
