Everyone is now guaranteed $12,591, but there is a whole world of difference between that and the $625,872 that the eventual winner is going to take home.
Play will resume at 3pm tomorrow, and we will be playing right down to a final table. Until then, from the Amazon Room, it's goodnight.

A player opened to 35,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Gargano in the big blind who moved all-in for 181,000. His opponent called with and Gargano opened
Off to the races again!
The flop fell giving Gargano the early lead. The on the turn missed Gargano's opponent and so too did the on the river.
After collecting his chips, Gargano's stack looks something like 380,000 chips.
