With Level 9 now underway, late registration has closed and the field has been set. Official numbers have yet to be reported but it looks to be about 50 total entries.
A large group of players re-entered during the final moments and a couple new faces are in the field as Dan Shak and Igor Kurganov were last-minute additions.
We will provide full details once the final numbers become available.
Igor Kurganov was the last player to take a seat in this event and in the span of about 10 minutes, has taken the chip lead.
In the most recent hand, Kurganov and Jason Koon got into a preflop raise-war that ended with Koon all-in and at risk.

Kurganov:
A board fanned out and after a quick count to verify stacks, Kurganov had Koon slightly covered and sent the American to the rail.
According to the table chatter, moments before the hand Kurganov doubled up with pocket kings.
Kurganov gave his tablemates a little needle poking fun at the fact most of them had been grinding for five hours and have nowhere near the stack the Russian now wields.
We didn't catch the action but were able to get enough information from the table.
Adrian Mateos had Hart all-in and at risk preflop with a pair of sevens to Hart's queen-jack. A seven on the flop gave Hart no shot at catching up and Hart bid farewell.
