The late registration period has come to a close and the total number of entries climbed all the way up to 135, allowing the $15,000 prize pool to grow to $26,190 (including bounties). The prize payouts will be published shortly.
With the average chip stack just above 35,000 chips, one player has gone north of 100,000; Langis de Gran Pre is in the lead with 119,100 chips (including four bounty chips). The initial leaderboard of the evening is a little bit larger than usual as many players were able to accumulate some bounty chips early on in the game.
