In order to reach the $50,000 guarantee for Event #5 there would need to be an average of 84 entries for each of the six starting flights. Tournament staffers told us they were expecting around 80 for this morning's flight, and that number has easily been surpassed with 10 minutes still left on the clock. We're at 98 and counting right now.
Level: 8
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 100
It's time for another break while the T25-denomination chips are removed from play. We'll be back in 15.
Cam Bartolotta told us he ran queens into kings on his way out of the tournament area. Anthony Guggino and Art Demmerley were also eliminated during this level. Re-entry is still open for another 55 minutes so we'll see if they take advantage.
