The Day 1c field has returned from its dinner break a few minutes ago, with two more levels to play today. The difference between this field and the first two Day 1\’s is that the field as well as tomorrow\’s field will play 5 two-hour levels. When Day 2a commences Tuesday, they\’ll also play 5 two-hour levels, while the Day 2b field will play 4 levels. A field of 1,697 were registered today, and there\’s a possibility that Monday\’s Day 1d field could be sold out. If not, it will certainly be the largest Day 1 field with well about 2,300 already registered.
Notable names already eliminated: Annie Duke, Daniel Negreanu, Evelyn Ng, John Caldwell, Lacey Jones, Chino Rheem, and Jamie Gold. The unofficial leader at this time is Jeff Lisandro, looking for his 4th bracelet this year, leading the field with 132,000 in chips. Other notables with stacks include Hevad Khan (94,000), Joe Hachem (88,000), David Singer (78,000), Justin Bonomo (56,800), Brett \”gank\” Jungblut (51,000), Scotty Nguyen (49,000), and Dan Harrington (47,500).

More updates later this evening from Team Pokerati, and another update from me in the morning recapping who\’s left at the end of the night.
