Level 17 (4,000/8,000/1,000)
Total RG Main Event Entries: 381
Players Remaining: 27
Chip Average: 282,000
The final 27 players have drawn for seats and are ready to battle down to the final table. The rate of eliminations has been swift for all of Day 2 and it will be interesting to see if that trend continues now that the pay jumps are starting to become more of a factor. Gil George is still the chip leader and the first player over 1,000,000. Jonathan Nguyen trails George by less than 200,000 and there is a wide gap between those two and the rest of the field.
The field will play down to 18 players and then there will be another redraw. The chip counts and seating assignments along with the remaining payouts are are below.
