For this final bracelet event before the Big One -- the Main Event begins on Friday -- a large field of 928 players each ponied up $5,000 for Event No. 56, creating a total prize pool of over $4.3 million and a first place prize of just over $1 million.

When the night was done, just 160 players remained, with Rui Cao bagging what appears to be the biggest stack at the end of the night -- a gaudy 354,900.

Chip counts for all of the remaining players will be posted overnight. Check back in the morning for those, and come back at 2 p.m. Vegas time tomorrow for the restart of Event No. 56.
