Let's Take a Break
Players are now taking their first 20-minute break of the day, stopping here halfway through Level 10 to do so. The big board is still showing we are down to 2,304 players total, although we've likely dipped below that figure as the number hasn't changed for a while.
Among those hitting the rail during the first two hours of play today were Scott Seiver, Matt Hawrilenko, Lex Veldhuis, Marc Naalden, Lacey Jones, Phil Laak, Maria Ho, and Sully Erna.
Meanwhile, we've seen the always tough Alexander Kostritsyn rocket to the top of the counts, hitting the 400,000-chip mark. Johnny Chan also continues to enjoy a spot among the leaders after having a very active, up-and-down couple of hours, and Vanessa Selbst has pushed up beyond 300,000 as well.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em. See you back here in 20 minutes.
