Closing In on the Guarantee
With a little over an hour to go before late registration closes, the smiles are starting to get a little bigger on the faces of the tournament staff. The field has grown to 375 entries in search of that ultimate goal of 400 to reach the $10 million guaranteed prizepool. The players will head on a 60-minute dinner break at the end of this level with registration staying open throughout.
In a field stacked with professional poker players and the best players from all around the world, it's a bit of a surprise to see a few recreational players at the top of the leaderboard. Geraldo Cesar has been at or near the top for quite some time but has recently been joined by [Removed:150] and Kathy Lehne. They are all chasing veteran Keith Lehr who has quickly accumulated nearly 7,000,000 chips and only time will tell if they can keep up that pace for an extended period of time.
