Event 2 – The Escalator – is about to resume, after going on break last night after having just reached the money. Of a starting field of 111, 12 players are back today, and will play it out until only one remains.
Johnny Mazzaferro has monopolized the chip lead for the last few levels, and returns today with 332,500 in chips. Eddie Daldalian has maintained a healthy stack leading to the bubble as well, as is currently in second place with 207,000. He is closely followed by Yan Fantinato.
Everyone is guaranteed a prize of at least $275, however the winner will be awarded a cool $3,510 for his efforts.
Good luck to all the remaining players!
