With a handful of entries during the dinner break, the Event 2 field is close to halfway in terms of reaching the $100,000 guarantee.  It's really not a matter of whether the guarantee will be reached, than it is how big will the prize pool actually get.

With six tables remaining in this Day 1A field, there aren't as many notables still alive as one would think.  A lap around the field only yielded a list containing the likes of:

Evan Teitelbaum
Ory Hen
Vendel Johnson
Alik Sitnyakovsky
John Palace
Ido Ashkenazi
Ricardo Eyzagruirre
Erik Christensen

That means that over the next few hours, there are going to be some new names and faces introduced to the blog...which entail allows for new storylines to emerge as the tournament plays on.
