$1,700 SPS Championship (Re-Entry)
$1,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 24:  25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 ante
Players Remaining:  14 of 778

The SPS Championship started with 778 entries and the field is down to the last 14 in contention. They return at noon to play down to the final table and eventual SPS Champion.

Jeremy Joseph leads the field but there are a lot of Tampa legends still with a chance to take the big title.

Blinds at restart are 25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 ante and the average stack is about 2,225,000 (44 bb). Plenty of play still in the structure and this will take some work to win.
