Event 1 (Day 2): Money Bubble Burst...The Longest Of Waits

Event 1 ($150 Monster Stack NLH)
Level 20 (Blinds 8,000/16,000/2,000)
Total Entries: 1,142
Players Remaining: 78
Chip Average: 368,000 (23 BB)

Ellen Smith (Okeechobee, FL)

The Event 1 field is now in the money, as Ellen Smith (Okeechobee, FL) was eliminated just moments ago.  Smith started the day with 103,500, but couldn't manage to find any traction over the course of the first few levels of the day.  Her table happened to be one of the first to finish of the group remaining during hand-for-hand play, so she had to stay seated while the other tables finished up (in case someone got eliminated on the same hand as well).

Everyone remaining is guaranteed $283, but all eyes are on the top prize of $26,037.  Those still left are just returning from a break, and will be sitting down to new blinds of 8,000/16,000/2,000.  The payouts will be posted as each pay jump is reached, in addition to the tournament coverage heading down to a winner.
