The players have left on their third break of the afternoon and roughly a third of the starting field remains in the running.
Although the chip average only provides about 16 big blinds, the money bubble is coming into sight so play will likely tighten up over the course of the next few levels.
The blind pressure is creeping up on the short stacks, but several players have little to worry about for the time being thanks to their double-average stacks. Here are the current top three:
| First Name | Last Name | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|
| Real | Cantin | 179,900 |
| Patric | Perron | 165,000 |
| Laurie Lee | Labrash | 145,000 |
