We are down to 120 players in the massive opening flight of the day, so we took a quick walk over and found out how some the notables are faring so far. Lynda Tran is building up a huge stack with 140,000, nearly triple the current average of 53,000. Her husband, Phong “Turbo” Nguyen, is also in, though he doesn’t have quite as much. Check out some more stacks below, and be sure to come back in the morning for a final list of survivors, and the official payouts of the event.
