Play has concluded for the evening here in the Amazon room! We started the afternoon with 218 players in the field and have dwindled down to just 98 remaining.

Make sure to check back tomorrow at 3pm PDT where we will play down until just the final nine remain. There's no time cap for tomorrow, which means it could be a very long, or possibly short, day of play.

Many professional players remain in the field with our chip leaders going into tomorrow being:

Patrick Bueno
Michael Mizrachi
Kenny Shei

who are all over 70,000 in chips.
