That's All for Today
So seven long levels later, and our field has once more been decimated - we started with a ballroom-filling 400 players today, and have been reduced to just 112, each one of them guaranteed a minimum payout of €7,500.
Chip leader as we head into the business end of the tournament is Mr. Bryn Kenney. The bejewelled American finished up the day on 693,500, around 50,000 chips clear of his nearest rival Roman Makhlin.
Also still in the running are LAPT Mar del Plata winner Dominik Nitsche, Amsterdam Master Classics winner Kristoffer Thorsson and WSOP bracelet winners Konstantin Puchkov and Tomer Berda. Still flying the flag for Team PokerStars Pro are Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Ruben Visser, Matthias de Meulder, Alexandre Gomes and Leo Fernandez.
Also still in, although with below average chips, is Carlos Mortensen. The 2001 World Champion could be looking at a triple crown if things go his way today.
Today has flown by at breakneck speed, but tomorrow's going to have to go even faster if we want to follow the schedule and play down to 24 tomorrow. We have faith though. Our 112 cashers will return tomorrow at noon and we'll be right there with them as they begin the slow ascent to the serious money.
