The field hits the Money Bubble with 126 players remaining just as time is running out in Level 16, so they take a 15-minute break before starting hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble.

A scan of the field turned up three players with at least 400K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard. For the second break in a row, David Shaw has a sizable lead at the top of the counts.

1.  David Shaw  –  718,000  (120 bb)
2.  Rafael Pena  –  480,000  (80 bb)
3.  Ashley Spring  –  400,000  (67 bb)

The final 125 players from this flight (12.5%) will finish in the money, and the final 70 players (7%) will advance to Day 2, which begins tomorrow at 2:00 pm.

The Day 2 seat draw and the official prizepool will be posted on Sunday morning, and the prizepool will be over $2 million, more than doubling the $1 million guarantee.
