2007 World Series of Poker

Approximately 510 Players Remaining

There are 57 tables left in play (we erroneously reported 56 a short while ago), with approximately 510 players left for the dinner break.

Play resumes at 8:30 pm PDT.

Play will continue tonight for two more levels or until the field reaches 350 players. If they are close to that number at the end of the next level, tournament director Jack Effel reserves the right to stop play at that point to make things easier on the players.

Players on Day 2b will play the exact same schedule that we have today. If Day 2a plays only four levels, then Day 2b will only play four levels. They must play the exact same length of time before the fields are combined on Day 3 (Thursday).
