Total Entries: 1,143

Players Remaining: 8

This event was scheduled to end this evening, but after the size of the field (along with the size of the field returning for Day 2), stacks were just too deep to see this tournament play out to a winner (before 2:30am).  The remaining eight players just finished up with Level 28, and will bag their chips for tomorrow's impromptu Day 3.  Action will get underway at 12:00pm, with live blogged coverage back again, updating followers on the "happenings" in regards to this event's final table.  Posted below are the chip counts (and seating assignments) for the players heading into Day 3:

1. Eddie Uehara - 4,640,000
2. Rifiki Brown - 1,640,000
3. Ariel Williams - 2,795,000
