Play today started with 133 players in the action – 70 players off the min-cash position – and through the first 2+ levels, half of those have already been eliminated, leaving the tournament just 35 spots from min-cash and, at least for the big stacks, bubble play will start in earnest quite soon.
There’s a new chip leader in the tourney at this point as well – John Palmer has managed to accumulate almost 300K more today, putting him at just under the 560K level while no one else has yet breached the 400K mark.
