Out of the 1,214 entries, multiple bracelet winners Daniel Negreanu (271,000), David "ODB" Baker (361,000) and Jeff Madsen (252,000) remain on the hunt for more hardware. Nacho Barbero (240,000) will be looking to capture his second bracelet if he ends up the last one standing.

Day 1 chip leaders Casey Wassell (694,000), Satar Al-Sadoun (671,000), and Jon Rodack (621,000) will be doing their best to deny the repeat winners more glory as they're all well positioned to continue their deep runs.

Ten levels of play are scheduled with a 15-minute break every two levels. Dinner break is slated to be just after Level 20, at approximately 8:30 p.m. local time. The $500 bounties on each player's head remain, but play can be expected to be geared more toward making a deep run now that all players are guaranteed at least $1,642.
