We are 108 players away from the money here in Event #28. With 324 players remaining and 216 spots paid we are not a million miles away from the money places. Whether we will get there before the end of the next level is anyone's guess, but by the time the curtain comes down on Day 1, we are going to be extremely close to the bubble.
Play is now nine-handed, which will please the players and increase the number of hands played per hour.
Former November Niner Phil Collins just lost a little ground, but still has 35,000 chips and has a stack that is almost 12,000 chips above average.
Collins attempted to open to 1,300 from the cutoff, but was informed a min-raise would be 1,600. Collins put in the extra chips to make the raise legal and he was called by the small blind.
The 
flop saw no action, but the 
turn saw the small blind lead for 2,000 and Collins quickly release his hand.
