$5,300 Championship NLH $10 Million Guaranteed (Re-Entry)
Level 16: 1,500/3,000/500 ante

There is a steady stream of players lining up at the payout desk. As soon as they hit the money, players starting hitting the rail.

A recent run saw Stuart Paterson, Pauly Volpe, and Amanda Musumeci waiting for their payout but there are still plenty of wizards in action. Natasha Barbour, Jessica Dawley, Angel Vu, Nancy Birnbaum, Lily Kiletto, and Angela Prada-Moed made the money and still in line for the $1.7 million top prize.

Level 16: 1,500/3,000/500 ante

The bubble is quickly approaching as the number dropped to 303 shortly after they returned from break. There are still a large number of poker pros, local grinders, and a few WSOP bracelet winners spread around the room.

They will go hand-for-hand soon and we will soon know who is getting a piece of the $10 million prize pool.

End of Level 15: 1,200/2,400/400 ante

Players are off on their first break of the day and they will be in the money before the next one. Less than 340 players remain from the 478 who began the day.

Defending SHRPO Champion Blair Hinkle started the day near the bottom of the chips counts but has nicely moved his stack over 225,000 as tournament staff race off the black chips.

When they return, it will be time to play down to the money.

Level 15: 1,200/2,400/400 ante

Two of the tougher tables in the room are right next to each other and stacked with first-rate players. Some of the amateurs must be wondering what they did wrong.

The first table features a little lineup of Matt Glantz, Doug Polk, Huck Seed, and Kevin Schaffle while the only has Greg Merson, Chino Rheem, and Simon Deadman.

The exodus continues as the first 60-minute level of the day comes to an end with less than 400 remaining. We lost another WSOP Main Event winner when reigning champion Ryan Riess ran into a cooler.

Level 14: 1,000/2,000/300 ante

Six WSOP Main Event Champions made in through to Day 2 but that number has dropped by one. Joe Cada had less than an average stack to start the day and his Table 6 seat is now open.

Huck Seed (1996), Scotty Nguyen (1998), Carlos Mortensen (2001), Greg Merson (2012), and Ryan Riess (2013) are the Main Event winners still in contention today.
