Level 5: 200/400/50 Ante

The second break is upon them and the players are out of the ballroom getting some fresh air. This flight is just two entrants away from hitting an even 200 which should be easily surpassed when they return.

Chip counts after the break.

The entrant number keeps moving north and the next milestone will be hitting a $350,000 prize pool with some of the new numbers coming from returning players.

Darryll Fish finished off his first bullet of the day with a pair of Kings but he didn’t take too long to buy back in. Ralph Massey, one half of the Brothers Massey along with Aaron, was quick out the door as well after the last break.
