The Mega Satellite that began at noon ($575) is down to 62 players from the starting field of 600. Play has slowed down considerably recently, as only 60 will secure a seat into the Main Event. Among the players remaining are Alex Bolotin, Rex Clinkscales, and Pedro “Pete” Rios.

Also going on is an $1,120 Mega Satellite into the Main Event that attracted 55 players. That tournament is about three hours in and 11 players from the remaining 32 will lock up a seat. Still in the hunt over there is David Fox, Mike Beasley, David Paredes, Bill Mullins, Tyler Patterson, and Joe Ebanks.
