Play has just resumed following the first break of the day, which brings about the end of the late registration and re-entry period.

There was a late rush to the cashier at the timer ticked down on the break that brought the total number of entries to 47 for this event. This figured was helped along by 11 re-entries, leaving only 33 players left in contention at the beginning of the seventh level of play. The large number of re-entries helped boost the number of chips in play to nearly one million, so there plenty of chips to go around for the time being.

Several players managed to more than double their starting stacks during the early levels, but only one player controls a stack of more than double the current chip average. Sebastien Sigouin leads the way with a stack of slightly more than 76 big blinds.
