The six-hour late registration period has now come to an end. A total of 202 registration buttons were hit during this time, accumulating a $5,050,000 prize pool which just barely surpassed the guarantee that was set.

Just 62 players are left standing thus far in the field and of those, just 27 will find a payday. A min-cash will be pulling in $49,063 with the eventual champion taking home a whopping $1,095,741 for their victory.
