The field is five entries away from 1,000 with 508 on the board for today, and 995 in total. Level 8 has just begun and they’ll take their second break of the day after this level. After that, there are still four levels of poker with entries open, putting the end of rebuys on this on about 3.5 hours from this post.
Among the players in the game today is the head of another local poker tour. Joanne Jost, TD for the Pure Poker Tour, is in action for the monster, and she’s chipped up some from her start stack with a bit more than 52k in front of her. She’s on a table that includes Claire Leclerc, Gordon Wong, and Craig Caldwell, who is really looking to get the runner-up monkey off his back. He’s been at multiple final tables at Calgary WSOP over the years, including just the other night, but has yet to find his way to the top spot.
