Live Reporting
This event drew a really nice field of 180 entries, bigger than expected. A lot of our day two bust outs jumped in, which helped juice the prize pool.
We have some big names on the bustout list already, including Jonathan Park, Tong Mu, Joseph Cappuccio, and Dara Taherpour. Mujltiple event winners from the previous few weeks and millions of dollars in winnings just among those four players.
Notable players remaining include TrailBlazer POY Leader Kris Burchfield, day two chip leader Richard Zhang, early event winner Sanjeev Vora, and local legend David Shaw.
The next payout jump will be at 27th, where players will be paid $3,480 for a few spots.
Blinds: 20,000/40,000/40,000
A bunch of happy players who are all in the money!
Our first photo features a tournament director, weeks into a long summer of listening to players argue. The dead eyes, the thousand-floor-call stare, tell you that this one has seen things. Too many things. A tournament director can only handle so much before they go insane, but this one, the one they call The Hammer, comes back again and again. Where others falter, he just picks up another cup of coffee and wades into the fray, never cowed. Another day, another tournament. The TD perseveres.

Another big field with 126 entries, pushing the event well past the guarantee with another flight left. The final turbo flight starts at 9 am tomorrow and day two starts at 3 pm.

More great shots. It's been a fine day for photos here in Houston.
Faces Of TCH: PokerAtlas Title Event Flight 1G
Amazing shots today. Best gallery of the series so far. We love this room! We especially love the first photo of Jason Griffin looking VERY suspicious at his opponent with one eye closed. That look has to put fear into the soul of even the most calloused bluffers.
Faces Of TCH: PokerAtlas Tour Title Event Flight 1F
We had 88 entries for this flight, with three more to go, including a morning turbo flight that runs on Monday morning. This was the earliest end for a flight so far, meaning that 5,000/10,000/10,000 will probably be the starting level for day two tomorrow afternoon.
The average stack going into day two will be over 300,000, so there will be lots of play. The biggest stack so far is Richard Zhang who bagged 1,665,000 in Flight 1A and will come back with at least 166 big blinds for day.
