As the players left on their third break of the afternoon, Patric Samson managed to maintain his chip lead from the last break and continues to lead the way with a stack well beyond double the current chip average.
Roughly a quarter of the entries remain in contention, with 19 of 81 players left. The blinds have crept up to increase the pressure on the short stacks, as the chip average now provides roughly 20 big blinds. Expect the play to tighten up over the next few levels as the money bubble is not far away.
