Robert Lucas is one of the early leaders here in Event #1. According to tablemate Cameron Bartolotta, Lucas won a huge pot in Level 2 after calling a five-bet preflop with pocket tens. Then on a flop he moved all in and was called by pocket aces, but Lucas drilled a ten on the river to cross the 50,000 chip mark. He's now sitting with around 47,000.

We've already seen a handful of players return to the cage to reenter this event, including Travell Thomas, Hoss Colao and Alex Rivera. "This is why I hate rebuys," Thomas told the cashier.
Level 6 has come to a close, meaning players have around 15 minutes during the break to register for Event #1. We just saw D.J. MacKinnon, Mark Roberts and Andy Spears take advantage of the late registration.
We'll be back in 15 minutes after the T25-denomination chips are removed from the tournament.
