Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

There's lots of people trying to register for the 1B flight of this tournament so it might be double as tough to bust day 1A right now. On twitter it buzzes of people in long lines for registration and some people even said there's no parking space on the entire Rio property anymore. We'll have to see about that one but it is crowded here for sure. This Millionaire Maker tournament is a big hit, no one can argue with that at this point.
