The tournament clock shows 737 entries so far today, for a tournament total of 1,539, which means the prizepool will be worth more than $4.92 million, more than doubling the $2 million guarantee. Registration remains open with unlimited re-entries until 9:15 pm.

Action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 10, around 11:15 pm.
