$3,500 LHPO Championship
$2,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 9: 1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 ante
Day 1A Entries: 802

The players return from break to begin Level 9, with increased blinds of 1,000-1,500 with a 1,500 ante.

Registration is now closed, and the tournament clock shows an unofficial field size of 802. That would put the prizepool at $2,566,400 with another starting flight tomorrow. So yeah, the $2 million guarantee has been smashed.

A scan of the field during the break turned up four players with at least 300K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1. Arthur Peacock – 326,500 (218 bb)
2. Sam Laskowitz – 320,000 (213 bb)
3. Min Zhang – 303,500 (202 bb)
4. Dave Eldridge – 301,000 (201 bb)
