Yet another internet apology

[user22113]

We were down again but welcome back!

170 players remaining, coming up on a short break and then two more levels until dinner. This is a one day event before tomorrow's $100,000 buy-in NLHE event.

Yes, that is not a misprint, Mr. Negreanu, a $100,000 event. Apparently Daniel thought the $100K was a misprint and came down under a bit lite in the wallet.
