Players who were unable to bag last night, but are sure to fire this flight include Daniel Sepiol, Michael Berk, Nicholas Rigby and Anthony Carbone.
Players will start out with 25,000 chips with the starting level of 100/100 and a big blind ante of 100. Levels will escalate every 40-minutes with a ten minute break after every three levels, with a 40-minute dinner break after level 9.
