Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Alessandro Pichierri and Jinlong Hu have taken their seats in this two-day tournament, adding more competition to the field. Ryan Eriquezzo also entered the field early and re-bought, but had no luck and left the field in the first level after the break.

All three recently took part in one of the starting flights of the WSOP Main Event and successfully bagged chips, securing their spots in Day 2a. That next stage kicks off just a day after this tournament wraps up, making for a packed few days for these players.

Matt Glantz has also joined the field. He's already had a very strong summer, finishing 3rd in the $500 No-Limit Hold'em Colossus event and earning $273,260.
