Level 2: 50/100
Entries: 103

The field has more than doubled since Event 1 began less than 45 minutes ago. With the clock now showing more than 100 entries in the action, the event’s $50,000 guarantee is a blip on the prize pool radar. That figure should be eclipsed around first break and the count will continue to climb until registration closes after dinner.

A quick walk through the tournament floor shows a number of notables, but perhaps none more notable than Martin Ryan. Ryan is the defending champion of this event having bested 318 entries 12 months ago earning ring number five and $22,416 in the process. In the time since, Ryan’s heater accumulated him four more rings and he now sits third on the all-time list with nine.
