Event 5 is down to 33 players as the smaller stacks were under immediate blind pressure to start the day. Some of those smaller stacks have doubled (some twice), but some have been eliminated from the tournament.
Based on a rough estimate of the remaining players’ stacks, the current chip leader is Jason Duval who is playing over 450K. Right behind him are Kyle Zechner, Levon Demirdjian, Edin Cekic, Benjamin Leblond, and Thomas Lefort. These players are all playing between 290K and 390K.
The tournament is at level 16 with blinds 2.5K/5K/a500. The next break is at the end of this level in 18 minutes.
