Event 1: First Break

$360 Ultimate Re-Entry No Limit Hold’em
Returning to Level 18: 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 190 of 4,756
Average Stack: 347,000 (29 big blinds)

After all that action, the remaining ~190 players could use a short breather away from the tables. The parade should continue at a brisk pace until the hour-long levels begin to deepen the stacks.

We’ll take this first opportunity to find the other big stacks in the room after the first two levels of controlled mayhem.
