There are now just 16 players remaining here in Event 1 and we are on the money bubble. The final 15 will all make the cash and be guaranteed at least $645.

They will battle it out for the $8,652 first prize money and the trophy when play resumes and we will pick right back up on the action at approximately 8:10 P.M.

Event 2A ($400 NLH): Closing in on 100 Day 1A Entries

Event 2: $400 NLH HighFlyer Stack
Level 5: 400/800/800 BB Ante
Total Day 1A Entries: 94

The Day 1A Event 2 players have just returned from their first break of the night. There are currently 94 entries here in our first flight and the field is growing fast.

Tournament registration and re-entry will remain open until the start of Level 9 (Approx. 8:30 P.M.) so there's still plenty of time to get in on the action.

Event 1 ($300 NLH): Dennis Wong Alone at the Top

Dennis Wong

The money bubble is approaching fast and there are just 21 players left in the hunt. The final 15 players will all make the money and we don't think Dennis Wong will have any problem with that.

Wong is now sitting behind a mountain of over 1,000,000 here at the livestream feature table. He is all alone at the top of the chip counts and has nearly three times the chips of his nearest competitor.

The players are falling at a rapid pace and Wong is inching closer to his first Foxwoods Poker title.

Event 1 ($300 NLH): Ferdinand and Agarwal Gaining Ground

Bobby "The Bus" Ferdinand

While the battle for the chip lead continues there are two players quickly gaining ground. Bobby "The Bus" Ferninand and Pushpa Agarwal continue to climb the counts.

They are both playing about 160,000 and these two players know a thing or two about Foxwoods success.

All four of Ferdinand's poker titles came right here at Foxwoods and he has now earned more than $388,000 throughout his career. He most recently notched a $15,920 cash in the 2018 WSOP $10,000 NLH Main Event.

Pushpa Agarwal

While Agarwal may not hold the lengthy poker resume of Ferdinand she is certainly no stranger to tournament poker.

She has earned over $30,000 in live tournaments and is fresh off her first WSOP Circuit final table with a 6th place finish in the Foxwoods WSOP $400 Monster Stack NLH event for $6,267.

Soukha Kachittavong

The field is thinning fast here in Event 1 and the big stacks are starting to emerge. It looks like a neck and neck battle for the chip lead between two players that we featured earlier on the Foxwoods Poker Blog.

Soukha Kachittavong who is seated at the livestream feature table just scored a knockout to vault to the top of the chip counts.

Both Kachittavong and Vito Masi are playing a nearly identical stack of about 240,000 but there are plenty of players well within striking distance.
