Level 9:  1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 ante
Day 1A Entries:  409

The players returned from break to begin Level 9, with increased blinds of 1,000-1,500 with a 1,500 ante.

A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least 250K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Jake Ferro  –  393,000  (262 bb)
2.  Alex Foxen  –  343,500  (229 bb)
3.  Jesse Lonis  –  321,000  (214 bb)
4.  Elliot Smith  –  316,500  (211 bb)
5.  Justin Zaki  –  298,500  (199 bb)

Registration is now closed for Day 1A, and the tournament clock shows an unofficial field size of 409, which would put more than $1.98 million in the prizepool. Day 1B begins tomorrow at 11:00 am.

Action will continue tonight until the end of Level 10, around 11:15 pm.
