The field is taking one last break to do a color up and removing the green 25 chips from play. Only one more level left to play on the night.
Livello: 10
Bui: 400/800
Ante: 100
The remaining 650 players have all been chipped up and the final level of Day 1 is underway!
The 3,157 entrants we had at the start of the day were spread across the entirety of the Pavilion Room, save for a few cash game tables, and two full sections of the Amazon Room. Tournament officials have been breaking tables at a record pace today, moving some players up to four times.
Now the field has been reduced to only the Black section and 15 tables in the White section in the Pavilion Room. The board reads only 650 players remaining. It is likely that once play ends all the Day 1 surviving players will be in just the Black section.
We found Humberto Brenes in the middle of a hand firing out a bet of 8,000 at his opponent on a board of , his opponent made the call.
The turn brought the and a check from Brenes. Humberto's opponent was not going to check-down and put out a bet of 12,000. Humberto tanked for awhile before eventually folding.

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi was cruising during the pre-dinner session, but since then has had a nightmare run, until he managed to triple up in a massive three-way all-in situation over on table 43.
David Briedis raised to 2,000 from under the gun, only to see the player in the UTG +1 position re-raise all-in for about 14,000. The action folded to Mizrachi in late position, who begrudgingly slapped his last 2,800 into the middle. All the others got out of the way and Briedis snap-called.
Briedis:
UTG +1:
Mizrachi:
Incredibly, Mizrachi caught a runner-runner full house on the board of to triple up! Briedis, however, picked up more than enough chips in the sidepot and sent the other opponent to the rail.
It's still hard to believe where all of Mizrachi's chips went, but we have a feeling that some of them might have ended up in Briedis' stack, as he's now holding over 75,000 in chips!
