Among them are Ralph Massey (196,000), Barry Shulman (160,000), Kenny Hallaert (157,000), Eric Baldwin (112,000), and Lauren Roberts (54,000).

All Day 1's play out over the course of 18 30-minute levels and every player begins with 5,000 starting chips. Late registration and re-entry remain open until the beginning of Level 9. Each player is permitted one re-entry per starting flight.
