Junior level creditors of Caesars Entertainment Corp. are attempting to block this week’s planned restructuring of the casino company’s primary business unit.

The lenders, led by Appaloosa Investment LP, filed an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy against Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. on Monday in Delaware. The move is an attempt to stop a restructuring deal between Caesars and its senior creditors.

Last week, Caesars announced 60 percent support for a plan that would put CEOC into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection voluntarily and turn it into a real estate investment trust. The move would eliminate almost $10 billion of the business unit’s $18.4 billion of debt.
