Cavanaugh Pilots the First Flight
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
That's the end of Day 1a, and the ~97 players who survived have been granted an early night.
Casey Cavanaugh did the best work in that session, riding a late surge to a chip-leading count of 196,700. He's joined at the top by Shaun McBride and Mark Kroon as members of the Century Club, and you can see their chip counts in the post below.
Other notables who will have the night off include Garry Gates, Alex Masek, Jeff Banghart, Allen Kessler, and Amanda Musumeci.
The group of players who were eliminated will have another chance at this Main Event at 7:00pm. We'd love to tell you more about Day 1a, but that's less than 10 minutes away.
We'll be back with Day 1b in just a few minutes.
