The Wi-Fi is down in the Harrah's Cherokee tournament room, which is causing significant delays in live reporting action. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Until the issue is resolved, we will be offering in-depth tournament status updates at each break starting after the dinner break.
Level: 9
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
The Main Event has completed nine levels so far today and the players are getting ready to go on a 60-minute dinner break. The tournament clock currently reads a total of 641 entries with 405 players still remaining. Late registration will still remain open until the start of level 13 and a single re-entry option is optional.
Heading to the dinner break, Tyler Payne and Adam Jones are a couple of the notable players sitting at the top of the leaderboard. Payne had a big stack brewing on Day 1a but fell short in bagging by the end of the night. He will be looking to change that result today when he returns from dinner break.
Former NFL linebacker, Richard Seymour was seen leaving his seat just prior to the break. This is the first even Seymour has participated in so far at Cherokee and he will likely be hitting up the registration desk once more for his shot at a circuit ring.
When the players return to the felt at approximately 6:30 pm local time, the blinds will be increased to 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante. Follow along with PokerNews for tournament updates at each break until the internet issues are resolved.

Levels 10-12 in the WSOPc Cherokee Main Event were eventful as many players attempted to grow their stacks before the imminent end of registration. The tournament clock showed 685 entries as play in level 12 ended and when the break began. As break ended and registration closed 696 entries were showing, meaning that several players slid their way in at the last possible moment to get their shot at what will be a massive prizepool.
Some 261 players remain in Flight B, with three more 40 minutes to go and one 60-minute level after that (unless the field is trimmed to 16% before that).
Several prominent names are still alive in Flight B. Including Roland Israelashvili who was seen with a big stack of 174,000. Ari Engel eliminated an opponent at the very start of level 10 and then sent another to the rail at the very end of level 12 when his ace-six out flopped the ace-nine of his opponent when a six hit the flop.
Todd Millroy (270,000), Spencer Taylor (255,000) and Ryan D’Angelo (237,000) are a few of the bigger stacks in the room at the conclusion of level 12.
