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

Registration is now closed, and the tournament clock shows an unofficial field size of 890. The prizepool should be worth about $5.41 million, and as soon as the official information is released, we will post it here.

A scan of the field during the break turned up four players with at least 350K in chips, plus one more knocking on the door to create an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Ryan Remington  –  456,000  (304 bb)
2.  Igor Hot  –  391,000  (261 bb)
3.  Chris Csik  –  371,500  (248 bb)
4.  Michael Elbilia  –  355,500  (237 bb)
5.  Rudy Mamo  –  349,000  (233 bb)

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