Event 4: $1,650 Deepest Stack$300,000 Guaranteed Level 4: 150/300/50 Flight C Entries: 120 (Total Entries: 354) 397142

After coming up short of a bag in yesterday’s Flight B, South Florida residents Daniel Pearlman and Michael Newman are giving it another go here in Flight C. The pair shares Table 35 occupying Seat 1 and 9 respectively. While Newman is a nine-time Seminole Hard Rock tournament winner, Pearlman, who owns two World Series of Poker Circuit gold rings, is in search of his first South Florida win.

“The blow pop was a dollar,” Newman was overheard saying to tablemate Charlemagne Benjamin giving him a hard time for his sucker.

The 109th Flight C entry came during first break officially pushing the prize pool past the $500,000 mark with combined field of 342. At present, the kiddie sits at $513,000, but that figure is expected to grow throughout the day and overnight with late registration available until the start of Day 2 tomorrow at 12-noon.

With 50,000 starting chips (currently 166 big blinds) Flight C players are deep and no one has really separated themselves from the field in the first few levels. We’ll take a look at some of the notable and familiar faces in the event throughout the day.

Karp: for a pair of fours
Dabus: for a flush draw and an overcard

Karp’s fours were good and Dabus was left with less than an ante. Karp’s stack grew to 93,000.
