Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

There is a lot of action here in the Crown Poker Room today. Day 2 of the Opening Event is deep into the money and getting ready to go on dinner break at the end of this level. There is a queue forming for Event 3 ($1150 Shootout) at the buy-in booth, the cash games are going off with the jackpot now up over $120,000 and there is a huge Main Event Satellite running across 3 separate areas of the Casino.

Attracting 483 players at $550, with an optional $200 add-on, the "10 Seat Guarantee" event generated a staggering 30 Main Event seats - a record here at Crown. With the prize pool falling just shy of the 30 seats, Casino Manager for Poker David Devine generously threw in the additional $1300 needed to make sure the top 30 all get a seat.

The Satellites have being going nuts in the first few days of the Championship - with the nightly Phase 3 Satellites ($1150 for direct entry into Main Event) generating 8 seats most nights, and the $130/$100 rebuy Satellite good for another 2 every night at 9pm.

With so many avenues to qualify, and so many players already in town for this years Championship, the stage is getting set for a big number for the Main Event. The smart money is starting to lean towards 700+

Blinds: 5,000/10,000
