Assorted Pre-Break Counts

The 205-strong Day 1B Main Event field is off on the second 10-minute break of the day. Recent arrivals before the break included James Obst and Geoff Mooney, both of whom have climbed above starting stack. The man to catch, however, is Malcolm Trainer who has spun his stack up to 145,000, closely followed by Brad Kain on 135,000.

However, Ken Demlakian, Rod Gibbs, Shivan Abdine and George Mitri have all hit the rail over the last couple of levels.

When play resumes post-break, registration will close so the field still might increase slightly.
