Event 9 reached the eighth level of the day and time is running out if you want to join in the fun. The field is still short of the $100,000 guarantee so there’s a chance there will be some free money up for grabs as well.

Level 6: 300/600 with a 600 ante
Entries; 39
This is a $2,200 buy-in tournament, there are a lot of notables taking part, and even with the smaller field, it will not be an easy title to take.
Some familiar faces so far include Jeremy Becker, Jake Ferro, Tony March, Matthew Leecy, Justin Zaki, Ryan Hogan, Kevin Ragusa, Jerry Silva, and Scott Blackmon.
We have a little less than 90 minutes remaining to get in the game and the field is still shy of the $100,000. Might be a good time to take a shot.
