The team of Andrew Schneider and Kevin Kitchen have taken the chip lead on one side of the room.
On the other...not so much. In fact, they're short over there. While both players have been running hot in the one seat, they've been card dead in the other. Go figure.
In the meantime, the registration and re-entry period is now closed. The tournament at the front of the room drew 57 entries and re-entries and the one at the back saw 56. As a result, the prize pools should be relatively the same. We will update all the prize pool numbers here in the blog once they become official.
For now, both tournaments roll on with about half the field still in.

The team of Nick Walker and Dan Frederick was the first to bust from the Event #5 final table.
Walker ran the into Darryl Swarts' kings for peanuts and left empty handed. Hey, at least the Sabres won.
Louis Hawkins and Don Lewis are at the final table in Event #5 with a stack in the middle of the pack. However, they've got a back up plan, and it's a pretty good one right now.
Hawkins is playing the team's stack still in Event #4, and just busted Tim Glab making a set of eights.
Lewis actually picked up aces back-to-back in the last level with that stack, and they've got 200,000 and the lead right now with 11 players remaining.

The Jason Sardo-Chris Giarratano team, the James Bucki-Kristan Mackiewicz combo are out short of the money in Event #5.
The remaining teams are on the bubble now.
We didn't catch Sardo and Giarratano's exit, but we did see James Bucki getting it in three ways with big slick versus fours and queens. Tim Pell hit a set of fours to send Bucki and Mackiewicz home and leave the Nowak family short, although they are among the teams that have stacks at both final tables.
