The big field, small buy-in Event 10 field is getting ready to restart for Day 2 with 169 of the starting 1,335 entrants still around for the title.

The tournament featured eight starting flights and they were on the modest side until yesterday’s last two flights. They combined to put the field over the $150,000 guaranteed prize pool and they’ll now split up $160,200 between the final 81 players.

Everett Gilmore leads the way as the only player over 400,000 but that is no lock for success. The average stack is just over 30 big blinds to start so this should move fast over the early 30-minute levels.

Players are in their seats to unbag their chips and about set to go.

Norman went all-in on the last hand of the night with and was called by Marc Cohen with .  A stunning board of not only put the flush on the board but gave Norman the straight flush for the double-up and Marc Cohen now has to come back with only 4.500 chips.

Level11: 600/1,200/200 Ante

One of the wildest hands of the tournament wrapped up Level 10 and we have a massive stack in the field as a result.

In a three-way pot between Eric Golden, Dave Hixson and Art Peacock saw nearly 270k end up in the middle after a flop of with Peacock all-in after the action.

With a on the turn, Golden declared himself all-in but flashed his cards thinking Hixson was in as well.  Hixson knowing he was beat tossed away .  When the remaining cards were flipped, it was trouble for Peacock.

Peacock:

Hixson was in great shape with the made flush but the spiked on the river giving Peacock a full house, the massive pot and a stack that would be in the lead in some of the past sessions of Event 10.

90 players are still alive here in Day 1H.
