The clock is ticking down on the late registration and re-entry period on Day 2B of the Main Event.

We have seen a huge influx of players during the last few levels, thanks not only re-entries but also a number of direct entries. The flip’n go’s have been very popular and have let a number of people join the Main Event for only $530, which has helped bring the total number of entries up to 567 and put over 1 billion chips in play. There is still an hour left to enter and re-enter so there is still time to get in on the action before it’s too late.

The raises chased Puradchithasan out of the hand, and Farrell quickly called off his stack. Hands were tabled to reveal that Cimbolas had , putting him comfortably ahead of Farrell’s .
