Play will resume tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. local time inside the Bally's Event Center. The remaining players will play ten hour-long levels on their way toward the money and the final table. Blinds will pick up on Level 16 at 2,000-4,000, with 4,000-8,000 limits.
The PokerNews team will be there providing all the live updates and chip counts as the field continues to get whittled down on Day 2.
