Level 9 comes to an end, and the players take their 90-minute dinner break. Play will resume at 8:00 pm.

The tournament clock shows 1,010 entrants here on Day 1C, though registration remains open until the end of the dinner break. The total field size is 2,334 and counting — well over the 2,000 needed to meet the $10 million guaranteed prizepool.

After dinner, the field will play four one-hour levels, and play should end around 12:15 am.

It's official, I'm playing a highly raked 25k($26,500) and have 36k on dinner break #SHRPO
