Once we reach 32 players, play will be paused while the entire field's chip stacks are counted by tournament officials. Players will then be "seeded" and re-seated according to chip count . For example, #1-4 in chips will be seated with #29-32, #5-8 with #25-28, and so on, ensuring that there are roughly the same amount of chips on each table.
Round 2 will be played in a shootout format, with the final two players at each table advancing to tomorrow afternoon's final table of eight.
