Fernando Rodriguez tops the counts but needs to keep up a break-neck pace versus the likes of Anthony Dianaty, David DiBernardi and John Dolan who are all in the top 25.

Only the top 51 players are set to finish in the money with a min-cash earning $1,352. Play should move a bit to start as Level 15 through 19 remain at 40 minutes before jumping to 60 throughout the rest of the event.
