Level 10 of the Ladies event has just got started and it marks the end of late registration. There are currently 78 competitors still in the hunt for a payout. Here are some more pics of the players still competing.
Following the break that occurred after level 8, a chip count revealed that it is a pretty tight race among the competitors in tonight’s tournament. With 82 players still in the field, Tracy Hutton has taken a tiny lead over Julie Poliquin, the leader after the first break. Tracy’s chip count of 97,000 chips is more than double the stack average of 45K. But her slim lead is only 1,000 chips more than Julie’s.
An interesting aside, all three of Tracy’s next closest competitors are all playing on the same table, #82.
