In many re-entry tournaments, the action tightens up once players can no longer re-enter, but if you add some bounty chips and four cards into the mix then, it seems, the action only gets looser. And that is the case in tonight’s event, as the field has dropped down to only 27 players out of 71 entries. The bounty chips are up for grabs, and the big stacks are finding ways to pocket them and send one player after another to the rail.
At some stage, the prize money should begin to exert its influence over the field and reduce the appeal of the bounty chips. Or maybe not. Either way, here’s what they are playing for:
| Rank | Pos | Prize | Bourse |
|---|---|
| 1 | $4,751 |
| 2 | $2,710 |
| 3 | $1,660 |
| 4 | $1,190 |
| 5 | $920 |
| 6 | $710 |
| 7 | $610 |
| 8 | $540 |
| 9 | $470 |
