The players have reached level 10 in Event 2 and so far no tables have finished, though some are getting very close. We will note which level play is in when the first table finishes, because that is the level at which the 2nd round (final table) will begin play.

The Shootout event has just finished level 4 and players are on their first break of the evening. Here’s an update on where the tables stand, as some of the tables have moved quickly into short-handed mode while others still have their full starting field intact.

Here are a few photographs taken in the first levels of Event 2 – Shootout:

This event was capped at 100 players and was sold out at least half an hour before it began. To cash in this event, a player has to make the final table, which only happens once he or she has outlasted their initial table.

Payouts for this even will be as follows, based on a total prize pool of $13,095.00.

Ten tables have each been filled by ten players and the shootout tournament has begun. There are a couple of late-comers in the event – their stacks will be blinded out until they arrive – but most of the hundred players has started the road to the cash and perhaps eventually the championship.

Good luck!

Event 2 – the Shootout – is still 30 minutes from it’s scheduled start but as predicted it has already sold out. We’ll have full coverage once it gets underway.
