White Suit Saturday

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

A handful of WSOP Floor Supervisors have reported to work today looking more dapper than ever. In what's been dubbed "White Suit Saturday" Steve Frezer leads the team that have all dressed in white suits today.

What They're Playing For

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Registration has been closed and the prize pool information has been verified. There were 2,770 entrants which generated a $3,739,500 prize pool. The top 297 players will make the money with a min-cash set at $2,730.

Just making the cut to 54 players will earn them five figures and just making the final table will be worth at least $48,614.

The top six players will win six-figure sums with the top prize set at $654,380.

Pavilion Room Empty

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

The Pavilion Room no longer holds any players from this tournament. The White and Black sections have been broken and set up for Daily Deepstacks.

All but two tables in the Tan Section of the Amazon Room have been moved to Brasilia. The Orange section still has plenty of tables remaining though.

Three Busts Per Minute

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

We're in the closing minutes of Level 6 and the field has been drastically trimmed down. The board reads 1,194 players remain, which means over 1,500 players have already busted. That breaks down to three eliminations per minute so far.
