The tournament director has announced that registration has closed and prize pool information has been posted. This year's edition of the tournament drew 835 entries with 126 set to make the money. A min-cash is worth $4,489 and the eventual winner will take home $428,392 and a WSOP gold bracelet.
Table 477 was having a ton of fun until the table just recently broke. With players such as Anton Morgenstern, Denis Strebkov, JC Tran, and Yuri Dzivielevski, there was not only some action but also a lot of dialogue to go with it.
Fortunately for the players at the table, they got new table draws that are certainly likely to consist of less aggressive opponents. Of the entire table full of players, Morgenstern was able to fill up nearly two racks full of chips and bring over a quarter-million chips to his new table, likely bringing the title of chip leader with him as well.

Upeshka De Silva was heard on the rail predicting that the ensuing hand would be a good one for Jake Schindler.
The hijack limped and action folded around to Schindler in the small blind who completed. The big blind checked his option and the three saw a flop of 
. Schindler bet 2,000 and the big blind folded before the hijack called.
The turn came 
and Schindler bet 7,000. His opponent asked if it was 7,000 or 11,000, unsure of the denominations that had been used. Schindler confirmed seven, saying he couldn't make it 11,000 if he wanted to due to the pot size of 9,000. His opponent agreed and then made the call. Schindler put out another bet on a blank river and his opponent folded, briefly showing Schindler two of his cards.
Schindler returned the favor, showing 
for a flopped wheel and scooped in the pot, proving Da Silva's prophetic powers positive this time.

Leif Force was just seen with a stack of 215,000 and when asked, he confirmed that was the figure.
"Yeah, somebody decided to donate 90,000 to me when I had aces," he said. He then added that his opponent also had aces.
Force had 
with nut clubs and his opponent had 
. Force proceeded to ask for clubs.
The flop gave him a taste of what he was looking for, coming 
with two clubs. However, beggars could not be choosers as the turn came to give him Broadway. The river fell an offsuit 
and he faded his opponent's redraw outs to a full house and he now finds himself with one of the top stacks in the room.
