The internet connection dropped out for a while in the Amazon Room, and there are still some issues. But we have a temporary connection in place for Event #53 ($1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout), and fortunately, most of the outage occurred during a 15-minute break, which just ended.

None of the tables have had a winner yet, but three tables are currently heads up.

The blinds are now 1,500-3,000, with limits of 3,000-6,000.
