Approaching the second break and 14 players of the starting field of thirty remain.
Joseph Cheong was the first causality of the November Niners, leaving him out of contention to collect the prize money or the $1000 last longer between the nine. Mike Mizarchi, Matt Jarvis, Jonathan Duhamel and John Dolan all remain with healthy chips.
Should one of them win the event, aside from the $15,000 put in the prize pool by Foxwoods World Poker Room, the 9 have also agreed to pay one of their own $5000 out of their pockets if any one of the group wins. 2nd place, same terms, will fetch $2000.
Players started with $10,000 in tournament chips and 30 minute blind levels. Almost 4 hours have elapsed with the current level at 300/600 with a 75 ante. The average chip count is now about $16,700.
The payouts for the $15,000 are as follows: 1st. $5000 2nd. $3000 3rd. $2000 4th-6th $1000 7th-10th $500. Great odds to make some money and an awesome poker experience for all involved!
