The IFC Main Event attracted 410 players to Flight 1H, with 41 of them advancing. After a long bubble, Adam Arnan emerged as the chip leader, collecting a stack of 4,100,000. Flight 1I produced 265 entries and Flight 1J has so far generated 124 entries. The guarantee didn’t survive even the opening of the strongest day, and we still have the morning Flight 1K – Hyperturbo ahead of us. Day 2 starts at 16:00. We look forward to seeing you!
