$2,700 Championship Event: The numbers so far

The chip leader at dinner break

Players in the $2,700 Championship Event Day 1B are now on their one hour dinner break. Blinds will be 250/500 with a 50 ante when they return at approximately 6:30pm EST. The average stack is just over 41,000.

There were a total of 72 entrants from Day 1A, and 23 survived. Registration is still open for Day 1B, but so far there have been 181 entrants, with 132 remaining.

With 253 entries, that would make a prize pool of $613,525, surpassing the $500,000 Guarantee. The 2014 Foxwoods Poker Classic Championship Event had 226 entrants for a $548,050 prize pool. First place prize was $133,177, so the first place prize this year should surpass that number.
