Field in Brasilia and Busting Tables

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

The Pavilion Room is now empty and the entire field has been condensed down to just the Brasilia Room. In fact, five tables have already been broken.

We saw Mike Beasley changing tables, again, and by our count it's the fourth time he's moved tables since noon.

Not a Great Day for PokerStars Team Pros

It's not been a great day for the PokerStars Team Pros today. We saw several in the field today but now we can only find France's Arnaud Mattern in the field.

Liv Boeree, Martin Staszko, Vanessa Selbst, Jose "Nacho" Barbero, Chad Brown and David Williams all played a stack today but aren't with us anymore.

What They're Playing For

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Registration has been closed, the last chips were given out and the prize pool has been calculated. The 2,770 entrants created a $1,519,100 prize pool that will pay out the top 297 finishers.

A min-cash is worth $1,839 and a player will get a five-figure payday for finishing 36th or higher. A final table appearance will lock up $32,748 while the winner will walk away with $440,829 and a bracelet.

Almost One Room

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Just 14 tables remain in the White Section of the Pavilion Room. Once those tables break the entire field will be condensed to just the Brasilia Room.

Level: 6

Blinds: 100/200

Ante: 25

Around 1,000 Remain

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Registration was closed and the event garnered 2,799 entrants. We've already lost more than half the field and just over 1,000 remain.

Through five levels we've lost 1,739 players, meaning so far today we've averaged 5.8 ELIMINATIONS PER MINUTE.
