Closing Trade : butterfly put spread

Stock / Symbol: [private_monthly]Priceline.com / PCLN[/private_monthly]
Option Strategy: butterfly put spread
Price at trade entry: $519.30
Price at this post: $493.04

Reasoning: With PCLN trading under $500, we're going to see if we can close this trade out early. The way this trade works, if PCLN is trading under $515 by tomorrow's close, we'll need to close the position for the gain; if it's trading over $525, then we could let it expire worthless for the gain. We're using a GTC, limit order.
