We have a tie at the top of the leader board, with well known pro Cyndy Violette sharing the top spot with Hernan Novick, with each player holding 43,400 in chips.
There are plenty of other players who are still in contention for that coveted bracelet and the $200,459 first place prize. Tom Dwan is sitting at 35,500, Norman Chad at 33,400, and Frank Kassela with 32,100. Other players like Mike Sexton, Jason Mercier, Alex Kravchenko, and the Prince of Poker himself Scotty Nguyen are still in contention with plenty of chips.
Play is set to get underway at 3 pm local time. The plan is to play a full 10 levels, and when play is over, the remaining players will return tomorrow to try and play down to a winner.
