Saturday delivered another strong surge of entries at Daytona Beach Poker as Flights 1F and 1G continued to push Multi-Room Mayhem II closer to its $250,000 guarantee and added even more depth to the Day 2 field. Flight 1F was not just the busiest flight of the day, it has been the busiest flight of the entire tournament so far, drawing 144 entries and sending 18 players through to Day 2. When the bags came out, Pete Tinnesz finished on top of the field with 668,000, giving himself a strong position heading into the restart. The evening Flight 1G followed with 83 entries, with 11 more players advancing and Kerr Jean leading the field with a 572,000 stack. With players firing multiple times across the schedule, the multi bag story continues to grow as more players look to take advantage of both stack building and the $1,000 multi bag bonus. After seven starting flights, 652 total entries have already been recorded, with 75 players advancing to Day 2. Nine players have bagged multiple times and the prize pool has climbed to 130,400 dollars of the $250,000 guaranteed. The average stack sits at 233,000 while Gil Levy’s 853,000 remains the overall chip lead.
The action is not slowing down. Two more starting flights remain today at Daytona Beach giving players additional chances to build a big stack or chase a multi bag before the tournament shifts to Orange City Poker on Wednesday. Multi-Room Mayhem II is right in the heart of the grind and there is still plenty of poker left to play.
