It looks like neither of the side events will finish tonight.

Tournament officials in the $2,500 Deep Freeze have confirmed that the remaining players will bag up for Day 3 at the end of Level 20 (approximately 00:15 local time). There are currently 24 players remaining, all guaranteed $5,835.

The winner will take home $206,485.

Meanwhile in the $5,000 PLO, there are 31 players remaining with just 27 places paid. Joe Hachem may have been eliminated, but Australian Poker Hall of Famer Kahle Burns is sitting on a healthy stack.

The plan for the evening is unclear, and depends on how quickly the bubble bursts. However, tournament officials have confirmed to PokerNews that they expect to return with approximately two tables for Day 3.
