The starting field of 479 entries has been cut in half with two more levels of play tonight.

The chip leaders can now focus on the end of night bonuses that go to the end of night big stacks.  The chip leader takes home $5,000, while second in chips earns $2,500.

We’ll update the chip counts from the last break and keep an eye on those stacks over the last two hours of play.
