The action in Orange City continued to build on Thursday night as Flight 1J brought in 138 entries. After several levels of back-and-forth battles, 18 players secured their seats for Day 2. Leading the way was Jason Aldridge, who closed the night with a commanding 782,000 in chips, one of the largest stacks seen in the series so far.
With this latest flight in the books, the Quarter Million Multi-Room Mayhem has now reached 1,144 total entries. Of those, 147 players are officially locked in for Day 2, carrying an average stack of 234,000. The benchmark for the earliest finish remains at 12:12 in Level 12, meaning that unless a later flight wraps up faster, Day 2 will resume at the 2,500/1,500/2,500 blind level.
The momentum shifts right into Thursday’s doubleheader at Orange City, starting with Flight 1K at 11:10 am and followed by Flight 1F at 5:10 pm. Late registration for each remains open until 9:30 pm, giving plenty of opportunity for new players to jump in and take a shot at the $250,000 guaranteed prize pool.
