Restart Postponed to July 26th Due to Critical Bug

Level 4 : 250/500, 60 ante

After the completion of level four and around half a minute into level five, the players went into a scheduled 6-minute break. However, during that time a critical bug was detected and the event was paused by the operator for an extended break.

GGPoker has since confirmed on their Twitter account that the tournament has been postponed and further information was released shortly after.

Event #33 is currently set to resume on July 26th, 2020, as of 6 p.m. GMT (exactly one week later than the initial starting time) with the current stack sizes. Whether or not the late registration and re-entry period is effected by this restart has not yet been communicated by GGPoker, however, they have announced to double the charity donation that has been collected so far.

As of now, the tournament has attracted a field of 1,598 entries of which 1,418 players remain with nearly the entire level five at blinds of 300/600 and a running ante of 70 to play for. A total prize pool of $1,775,378 has emerged which includes the donation for the Covid Relief effort by the Caesars Cares assistance fund.

The chip leader thus far is "jack chan" of the Philippines with a stack of 98,014 followed by "EmptyTheClip" (90,409) and "VaPaCooler" (88,494). Two known players were in the top 20 including Shawn "buck21" Buchanan (77,751) and Farid Jattin (71,562) while other early big stacks include Simon Higgins (61,323), Leonid Yanovski (59,646), Chris Hunichen (56,889) and Naoya Kihara (55,067).
