Play in the $1000 + $100 WPT Warm-up has entered its final level of the day, and there are still 71 players left in the tournament after 12 and 1/2 levels of hard-fought poker.

Since the last break, several players have chipped up considerably. We’ll publish a full list of chip counts along with the seating draw for Day 2 once play wraps up today, but in a quick survey of the field there were a few players with over 250K in chips and at least one who may be closer to the 300K mark.
