Event #39: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em originally began with 2,150 runners — which created a $1,935,900 prize pool – but on Day 2 only 235 returned looking to make the money by finishing in the top 216. After 10 levels of play, the field was whittled down to the final 21 with Kai Yang and his stack of 1.35 million best positioned to make a run at the $353,391 first-place prize.
Others still in contention include Chris Moorman (966,000), Franco Ivan Luca (651,000), Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (471,000), Jason Koon (299,000), and Antonio Esfandiari (249,000).
