407 players come back today, the Amazon room having been drastically altered today with large spaces between each table.

The luxury of the space no doubt masks a high amount of tension that so many of these players will be feeling. They've survived over 90% of the field but if they last for just four more days and they'll be able to book a return ticket back to the Rio in November for the final table.

Play will be commencing shortly with the plan to play five levels or to 175 players, whichever occurs first.
