With just 17 players left in the field, Event 10 is now on a 10-minute break.
Andy Hwang is the most notable name still vying for the title, and after taking down last year's WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for more than $730,000, Hwang is no stranger to success here in Atlantic City.
Hwang currently sits with 1.47 million after bagging the second biggest stack last night.
Currently there are only 18 players left with chips in Event 10, meaning the final two tables have been reached.
The average chip stack sits just under 910,000 at the moment, with blinds set at 12,000-24,000, with a 3,000 ante.
Every player left in contention has assured themselves of a $1,081 payout no matter what happens from here on out.
The prize pool information for Event 10 ($450 Deepest Stack No-Limit Hold'em) is as follows. A total of 327 entries were recorded to generate a prize pool of $126,426, and the last 36 players with chips earned a payday.

In light of the massive snowstorm to hit the eastern seaboard during the last few days, Event 12 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open was cancelled yesterday. The $150,000 Guaranteed Big Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry event simply would not attract a sufficient turnout for the guarantee to be met, and thus the cancellation was forced.
A new event was created and scheduled, however, with Event 99 just now underway. The $230 Deep Stack No Limit Re-Entry tournament will start players with 25,000 chips and will consist of 25 minute levels.

Nicolas Markatos bagged the biggest stack with 2.15 million, while Andy Hwang, the champion of last year's Borgata Winter Poker Open, starts with 1.62 million today.
