Event #11 ($400 No-Limit Hold'em Multi-Flight) Prizepool Information

There were a total of 1,114 entries over the course of the six starting flights of Event #11, with 136 of them advancing to Day 2. The actual number of players advancing to Day 2 will be less than 136 because one spot was already paid out at the end of Flight A, and at least one person has bagged twice (there could be more after the conclusion of the final flight tonight). As of now, there are 134 players advancing, but it could be less depending on how the final flight plays out.

The prizepool totals $378,203 (prior to any of the double bags/places paid), and the returning players are all officially in the money and guaranteed at least $800.  First place will pay $64,468.

Here is a look at the final numbers, not including any double bags and/or places paid:

Event #11, Flight F - Sam Taylor Eliminated From Play

Ante: 200
Entrants: 317
Current Players Remaining: 128
Avg. Chip Stack: 49,531
Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker 

There's around 13,000 in the middle and the board reads Q♣9♣4. Sam Taylor checks in middle position, Joseph T. checks in the cutoff, and the button bets 12,000. Taylor calls the 12,000, and Joseph T. shoves all in, having both players covered.

The button pauses for a few seconds before mucking his hand, and Taylor quickly calls.

Taylor: A♣8♣ (flush draw)
Joseph T: 44♠ (set of fours)

The 4♣ on the turn gives Taylor the flush, but it also gives Joseph T quad fours, and leaves Taylor drawing dead.

The river is the inconsequential K, and Taylor has already walked away from the table before it's even dealt.

Joseph T. - 140,000
Sam Taylor - Eliminated
