Play has just resumed following the first break of the day and the end of the late registration and re-entry period. The fast action of the early levels is likely to give way to a more conservative grind to the end of level 14, as the prospect of qualifying for Day 2 will soon start to exert its influence.

Nearly everyone who hit the rail prior to the break decided to fire another bullet, generating 14 re-entries from 17 eliminations. The 61 remaining players are now competing for nearly 2 million in chips in play.

The current chip leader, Silvio La Palerma, is out ahead of the pack for the time being with a stack of 190 big blinds. But the blinds will be catching up to the field very quickly in this turbo format so even what may seem like an insurmountable lead at this stage is far from safe.
