After the end of play last night the remaining 37 players were assigned new seats and random and came into day 4 play at noon to start the 5k / 10k blind level. In only four minutes Nestor Martinez was eliminated, dropping the field to 36 players . At the Bellagio there is a redraw before the money bubble so even though most tables had only played a hand or two with their day starting seat assignments the full field was redrawn and the 36 players found new seats at the final 4 tables of the tournament.

Players are now one full table (9 players) away from making it to the money and with the average stack being around 50 big blinds it is likely the money bubble with have a slowing effect on the pace of play and bustouts. While some players look to cautiously make it into the money others will look to take advantage of the bubble and build their stacks for a better chance of making it to the final table and ultimately winning the tournament.
