Hand-for-hand has been in progress for a full level so far, and we’ve see a number of all-in / calls however the shorter stack has prevailed in every case so far. A handful of players have been blinded down in the process, as Mike Fraser, Sako Marashlian and Ivan Driard have been playing passively, waiting for the money-bubble to sail by. With the blinds increasing to 6K/12K, the pressure will be on these 3 in the hands to come as they only hold a few big blind each.
Steve Ulloa-Torres and Hans Carcenac share the chip lead as the players went on a short break following level 16, and they return to the felts with 406,000 each. Below are the full counts of the remaining 14 players as they continue hand-for-hand play until the next elimination.
