The field continues to shrink quickly after dinner here in Event 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em), and they are down to the final 11 tables (99 players). These players are all guaranteed at least $1,933 in prize money.

The average chip stack is about 685,000 (28 big blinds), so this rapid pace should continue for a while with blinds at 12,000-24,000 and a 3,000 ante.
