The field just capped 300 entries with about 10 minutes to go in Level 4. There are now 308 total entries with 287 still competing for $10k glory. Entries are open until the start of play on Day 2, so with less than 200 to go until the $5m guarantee is met, it seems pretty certain at this point.
Find the action from all three main events here on PokerNews, starting with the 2023 SCOOP Main Event Hub.
Here is a look at some of the updated chip counts with the field up to 286 entries now.

Level: 4
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 200
"LuckPROF" just had a bit of the bad kind against Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis. They got kings into aces and even turned a set of kings, but Veldhuis already had a flopped set of aces.. That left them with just over 1,000 chips, but their luck turned around with three doubles, all three with the worst hands.

Shortly before the second break of the day, Liviu "0Human0" Ignat jumped above 400k with a turned two pair against Team Pro member Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis. Velduis opened under the gun to 3,080 and Sam "SamSquid" Grafton called from the cutoff, as did Ignat from the big blind.
Ignat checked the 3♥K♦9♥ flop and Veldhuis bet 3,742 and got two calls to the 4♣ turn. They all checked to the 6♠ river where Ignat fired an over-pot bet of 30,800. Only Veldhuis called, but he mucked when Ignat showed four-three.
Attached is also the top five counts from the second break of the day with 273 entries now.

"J7RJunior" opened to 3,200 from the hijack before Mario "t4t0PAGAU" Navarro three-bet the button to 10,500. There was a four0bet to 35,000 and a call before the flop of 8♦4♠J♣.
"J7RJunior" fired 32,550 and Navarro flatted to the A♦ turn. They both checked to the 5♣ river where "J7RJunior" checked again, then tank-folded to a shove of almost 184k into a pot of about 139k.
