Nine players to the money

The tournament staff has just broken another table, which means that only 45 players remain.  The top 36 players will make the money, with a mincash worth $16,000.  But all players have their eyes on the first place prize of $960,900 (includes a $25,500 WPT Champtionship Seat).  When the tournament hits the money, the players will redraw for seats, and the remainder of the tournament will play 6-handed.  Play will continue tonight until there are 18 players, or until the level completes that is playing at midnight.
