Greenblatt and Leah Storm Out of the Gate
Niveau 5
: 150/300, 50 ante
Alex Greenblatt has been sitting on a short-handed table for most of the morning but that doesn't mean chips aren't available for the taking. He has worked his way up to over 30,000 chips early on.
Mike Leah is also back this morning looking to avenge his collapse on Day 1a where he held the chip lead for most of the day but failed to make the money after losing a couple of crucial pots. He has also run his stack up to over 30,000 chips as he looks to enforce his aggressive game style.

Ladies Making an Appearance
Niveau 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
A couple ladies that some are predicting to win a WSOP bracelet this year have entered in the field. Cate Hall and Kristen Bicknell have registered for Day 1e and joined the rest of the players in the Amazon Room.
After min-cashing last night in Day 1d but unable to bag chips at the end of the night, Bicknell is back again today hoping to reach Day 2 tomorrow. Hall is entering the Colossus III for the first time this year and hoping all she needs is that one bullet to make it all the way. Will that gold bracelet people are predicting come in this event??

Registration Almost Closed
Niveau 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Level 6 is nearing the end which means registration will be closing soon. The tournament board is currently reading 3,950 entries, but tournament staff will be giving players one last chance to surrender their chip stack for the chance to rebuy if they haven't already done so.
