Play continues near the end of level 17, and the Finale is still four spots from the money.
Although the action clock is keeping the hands moving at a steady pace, the chip average now provides over 80 big blinds, and the players are showing their determination through disciplined play so it comes as no surprise that the 19 players still in contention at the last break are still in the field.
Chance Kornuth and Timothy Reilly still have the biggest stacks in play, and the only player to pick up a caller when all in since the break, Qi Hu, managed to double up his short stack.
