Level 9: 500/1,000 with a 1,000 ante
Flight F Entries: 876

The players return from break to begin Level 9, with increased blinds of 500-1,000 with a 1,000 ante. Registration has now closed, and the tournament clock shows an unofficial field size of 876. That would create a prizepool worth more than $1.38 million, but we’ll post the official numbers soon.

A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least 150K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1. Sid Dutta – 173,300 (173 bb)
2. Dantonio Brown – 162,800 (163 bb)
3. John Holley – 158,400 (158 bb)
4. Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi – 157,900 (158 bb)
5. Jimmy Corrales – 153,300 (153 bb)

The official prizepool for this event won’t be released until this final flight has ended, and it’ll be posted very late tonight, along with the Day 2 seat draw. Day 2 begins tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:00 pm.
