Event 1: 375 Players Left; 306 Get Paid

With the first three levels of the day complete, the players in Event 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em) take their first 15-minute break of the day. When action resumes at 3:30 pm EDT, the blinds will be 3,000-6,000 with a 500 ante.

With 375 players remaining from a field of 3,391, the average chip stack is about 180,000 (30 big blinds).

The field is getting closer to the Money Bubble, as the final 306 players will be guaranteed at least $407.

We’ve used the break to scan for the big stacks in the field, and we’ll attach names to those stacks shortly after play resumes and post the leaderboard here.
