The $240 turbo no-limit hold’em event has already reached a final table after starting with 249 players at 2 p.m. There are currently eight players still in the hunt for the top prize worth $13,945.

The remaining 136 players in Event 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em) take their 40-minute dinner break. Action will resume around 8:05 pm EDT.

We’ve scouted out the chipleading stacks, and we’ll attach names to the chip counts when the players return from dinner. The average chip stack is about 505,000, and there are 10 players in the field with more than 1 million in chips.

Action will continue tonight until the field reaches the final table (which seems unlikely), or until 3:00 am EDT, whichever happens first.

The full payout structure for Event 3 ($240 turbo no-limit hold’em) has been released. The tournament attracted a total of 249 players and the top 27 will walk away with prize money.

1: $13,945
2: $8,217
3: $5,478
4: $3,810
5: $2,839
6: $2,191
7: $1,693
8: $1,245
9: $896
10-12: $697
13-15: $598
16-18: $523
19-27: $448

Moises Benchlouch survived the first day of Event 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em) with 212,100. He was 31st in chips with 697 players remaining as the field headed into Day 2.

But Benchlouch never showed up for Day 2.

His chip stack was slowly blinded down, but it made it thru the Money Bubble in good shape. When the field took their second break, Benchlouch still had about 72,000 in his stack.

But an empty chair can only go so far as the blinds increase, and Benchlouch’s stack was recently felted to finish in 197th place, earning $916.

In other news, Zachary Kessler may be our most recent chipleader, but he hasn’t been able to get the best of David Diaz. Diaz doubled thru Kessler earlier today with A-9 beating A-Q.

A short while ago, Diaz and Kessler were battling each other over a board of Q-9-7-10-Q. Diaz bet 74,000 on the river, and Kessler called.

Diaz showed to win the pot with trip queens, and Kessler mucked.

David Diaz  –  680,000  (56 bb)
Zachary Kessler  –  1,085,000  (90 bb)

When the field took their second break of the day in Event 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em), there were 260 players remaining, with an average chip count around 260,000. (The similarity in those numbers is just a coincidence.)

A scan of the field during the break turned up three players with more than a million in chips, while nobody else had more than 700,000. The blinds have increased to 5,000-10,000 with a 1,000 ante.

Zachary Kessler  –  1,325,000  (132 bb)
Angelo Miele  –  1,310,000  (131 bb)
Pedro Rios  –  1,150,000  (115 bb)

The average chip stack has only about 26 big blinds, so the field should continue shrinking rather quickly.

Action will continue today until the field reaches the final table (which seems unlikely) or 3:00 am EDT, whichever comes first.

Here are photos of the three chipleaders:

Zachary Kessler  –  1,325,000  (132 bb)

Angelo Miele  –  1,310,000  (131 bb)

Pedro Rios  –  1,150,000  (115 bb)

Cards got in the air for Event 5 ($240 no-limit hold’em with black chip bounties – $20,000 guaranteed) at 5 p.m. ET. Players begin with 6,000 in chips and blinds for the first 30-minute level are 25-50. Shuffle up and deal.

Registration is open for the first four levels and players may re-enter during that time. Play will continue until 3 a.m. or until the final table, whichever comes first. Play will resume at 3 p.m. on Monday, August 12. Bounties are part of the prize pool.
