Play has just resumed in level 7, following the end of the late-registration and re-entry period. A late rush to the cashier brought the total number of entries up to 66, putting 1.3 million in chips in play. The healthy turnout allowed this event to surpass the prize pool guarantee of $5,000, with $6,600 in prizes and bounties up for grabs.

Several players got off to a fast start this afternoon, but they all trail Marc Lavergne, the current chip leader. Lavergne is sitting comfortably with roughly 112 big blinds in his possession, approaching triple the current chip average.
