A few more eliminations have brought the field down to 36 players, evenly split on four 9-handed tables listed below. A cash prize of $475 is now locked in for all the remaining players, although it is only a fraction of the $17,570 waiting for the eventual champion.
Karam Saleh has stepped on the gas in the last few hands, more than doubling his stack up to 1,450,000 – good for the stranglehold chip lead. Most of his newly acquired ammunition came from a big river call versus Chuhang Zhou just moments ago. Holding 
, Karam fired 125K on the river with the board showing 
and was faced with a raise to 325K. After some deliberation, he made the call and tabled the winner after Chuhang flashed a second-best 
.
Olivier Brossard has recently joined the big stacks after finding a big double-up through former chip-leader Larry Jr Raymond, and he now holds a hair above the 7-figure mark, good for second in chips.
A short break will follow level 21, during which we will update the leaderboard once again.
