Event 10 ($240 HORSE) came to an end a short while ago with 11 players remaining, and they will return to action tomorrow at 3:00 pm.

Make special note of that, because the original schedule said Day 2 would start at 1:00 pm. But because of the huge field in Event 7, there won’t be any room for it. So it’ll be a 3:00 pm start.

Here are the official chip counts, along with the five players who busted in the money:

1.  Mark Robinson  –  149,000
2.  Jason Like  –  140,000
3.  Bruce Zalkin  –  115,000
4.  Jordan Chizick  –  87,000
5.  Gary Flur  –  84,000
6.  Ronald Unber  –  58,000
7.  Barry Levy  –  56,000
8.  Bob Poolos  –  55,000
9.  Ed Ward  –  28,000
10.  Chris Kasper  –  24,000
11.  Ralph Broderick, Jr.  –  20,000

12th:  Arnold Cohen  –  $428
13th:  Ky MacPherson  –  $306
14th:  Wendell Morse  –  $306
15th:  Michelle Lau  –  $306
16th:  Joseph Antelo  –  $306

Action will resume tomorrow (Sunday) at 3:00 pm ET.

On Day 1 of large-field tournaments, the chipleading stacks at the break always get larger. It’s a certainty, like death or taxes. You can set your watch on it.

Well, maybe not.

Amazingly, the chipleader after four levels had more chips than the chipleader after six levels. Moises Natanel had 265,000 after eight levels, but he dropped down to about 180,000 after 12 levels. But his lead had been so big, that four levels wasn’t long enough for anyone to catch him.

As the blinds increase to 1,000-2,000 with a 200 ante, here’s a look at the new batch of chipleaders (everyone over 200K in chips):

T-1.  Jason Hobbs  –  230,000  (115 bb)
T-1.  Mario Hudson  –  230,000  (115 bb)
3.  Mark Wahba  –  223,000  (111 bb)
4.  Theo Lawson  –  215,000  (107 bb)
5.  Arturo Garcia  –  208,000  (104 bb)

The field will play another hour (two levels), and then stop for the night.

Can’t sleep. Feels like Christmas Eve w day 2 of the milly tomorrow. 1.7 million under the tree. #shrpo

There are two tournaments in progress right now to close out the night, and the fields continue to diminish.

In Event 10 ($240 HORSE), there are currently 26 players remaining from a field of 102, so the average chip count is about 31,400. With the limits at 1,500-3,000, the average stack has a little more than 10 big bets.

In Event 7 ($560 NLHE w/ $1 Million Guarantee), registration is closed for the final starting flight, and we are still waiting for the official prizepool information. One thing is certain — another guarantee was smashed here at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, and the prizepool will be more than $1.5 million.

There are about 614 players remaining from the Flight 1F starting field of 766, so the average chip stack right now is about 31,200 (62 big blinds). The blinds are 250-500 with a 50 ante.

Flight 1F of Event 7 ($560 NLHE w/ $1 Million Guarantee) just got back from their first break, with blinds at 150-300 with a 25 ante.

Registration is now closed, and unofficially, the field size is 768 entrants. Once the numbers are verified by the casino stage, the official prizepool information should be released.

Here’s a look at the top of the leaderboard from the break:

1.  Moises Natanel  –  94,000  (313 bb)
2.  Diego Gutierrez  –  93,000  (310 bb)
3.  Late Back From Break  –  85,000  (283 bb)
4.  Mike Massey  –  82,000  (273 bb)
5.  Oniel Quintana  –  79,000  (263 bb)
6.  Wade Williams  –  78,000  (260 bb)
