Delayed Start

[user22113]

With the blinds starting at 400-800, with a 100 ante, the tournament staff is using this time before play begins to color up the green (25) chips. The color-up process will delay the start by several minutes, but we have confirmed with a floorperson that they will be playing five levels again today. That makes it questionable whether or not the entire field will be able to fit inside the Fontana Lounge (capacity: 240 players) by the end of play today.

The chipleader is Anna Wroblewski with 211,325, closely followed by Sam Farha with 210,700. With 639 entrants, and 479 players remaining, the average chip count is about 66,700. Here are the top 10 chipleaders for the combined field:

1. Anna Wroblewski - 211,325
2. Sam Farha - 210,700
3. Dan Lowe - 198,050
4. Daniel Alaei - 187,050
5. Marc Goodwin - 177,225
6. John Racener - 175,925
7. Jack Karban - 173,850
8. Alan Schein - 171,575
9. Thien Phan - 167,300
10. Kirk Morrison - 167,075

Play should begin by 12:15 pm.
