Players are now on break, after 4 levels of play, 101 have registered so far, and more will join before 2h15, the cut-off time for late registration. Players have another 45 minutes to join and possibly earn their share of the massive $200,000 guarantee boasted by this Event. At this point, 244 more players are needed to meet the guarantee, and players are starting to lift their heads, alerted by the strong scent of overlay.
Michael Korovine, who took the biggest share of the Mix Max 5-way deal, is off to a good start in Day 1B of the $550 Deepstack. He is leading the 91-player field, with 59,500 in chips. A few other players are lurking close by, but none are above 55K.
