Play is midway through Level 3 with blinds of 250/500 and an ante of 60, and 112 entries have already been recorded for the event. This means the guaranteed prize pool of $20,000 has already been exceeded with two-plus more hours of open registration still to add to the total.

Leading the way through the first 25 minutes of play is Ryan “simlSgg” Hagerty, who has a stack of over 131,000 already. Tony "Bond18" Dunst is right behind him, and the remainder of the top 20 stacks in the tournament have been posted below.
