New players and a handful of re-entries keep rolling in at a steady pace, putting over 5.5 million in chips in play by the first break on Day 1B. So far, eight players have opted to re-enter, pushing the total number of entries to 185 after only two hours of play. Late registration and unlimited re-entries will be available until the beginning of level 10 at 6:45pm.

The current chip leader, Nabil Nahoul, managed to amass a stack of nearly 267 big blinds in the early stages of play, but there is a long way to go in this flight before the chips go in the bag so his lead is far from safe.
