Back from Dinner

2013/09/30 7:33pm by

The players are back from a 45-minute dinner break and the event continued to move very quickly after the bubble burst. There are just 130 players remaining as the tournament plays through level 20 (blinds 10K/20K/a1K).

During the dinner break we took a tour of the room and found that the chip leader was playing just a notch under 1.4M and there were just 4-5 other players over the 1M chip mark.
