Raphael Clayette has been on a roll since the money bubble has burst, more than tripling his stack in the last two levels (and causing a few casualties along the way). He is now sitting on just over 1 million in chips, which is a nice stack to hold when the average is only 390K!
The bubble has burst, and we are now in the money! Here are the 26 players remaining:

Table 54
Table 57
Table 61
Congratulations on making the money!
With only 28 players left in play, we are but two eliminations away from the bubble. Here is a look at the top stacks entering level 19:
The field in Event 9 has now dropped down to 40 players, and as this is an 8-Max event, this means there are only 5 tables remaining in play. With 26 players scheduled to be payed, the money bubble is slowly creeping up.
Play will resume in level 15 when the clock runs out in this 15-minute break, and some players have accumulated copious amounts of chips. Leading the way is Kyle Vivier, who more than doubles the next player in the leaderboard. Here is a look at an estimate of the top stacks in play:
Kyle Vivier 
Olivier Morin 
Christian Barbeau 
George Cargiorgas 
Nicolas Bastien 
Dominique Morin
11 levels have gone by so far in Event 9, and the field has been cut to just 103 players.
