Daniel Taylor
It will take an extra day to determine our Ultimate Re-Entry champion after eight starting flights over four days and a long playout on Day 2. There were 3,570 entries to start with 314 coming back yesterday but only 13 remain.
Everyone is guaranteed at least $5,932 but all 13 of them want the $204,320 reserved for the top spot.
Daniel Taylor ended the day with the chip lead but Emile Schiff is less than one ante behind him. We have three players returning to less than 20 big blinds including former Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Big 4 champ Ruslan Dykshteyn. They will have to do some work when they return.
The stacks are pretty well distributed between the two tables and the action should roll pretty quickly at the start. After we lose three players, they will redraw the last ten players for the final table.
The bags are out on the tables and we will underway at 1pm sharp.
