Event 12 has just reached the final 2 tables, and with the most recent elimination of Sean Windover in 19th place, the remaining players are now in the money!

Congratulations!

With only 22 players left in Event 12, the money bubble is fast approaching. 18 players are scheduled to be paid, and with 4 more eliminations we will be in the money.

Stacks are quite even in the field, as not many players are short-stacked, and not many are big-stacked. The exception to this is Zheng-Yi Xie, who has built a stack of nearly 400,000, good for the chip lead, and nearly 150,000 ahead of any other player.

Behram Antia has chipped his way into the lead in the last few levels, as he sits on the current top stack of 264,000 as play enters level 17. Here are the top 4 stacks at the moment:

Players have just returned from a short break in Event 12, and it is Shakeeb Kazemipur who currently holds the chip lead, being the only player above the 200,000 mark.
