Level 20 has just begun, and play remains 8-handed. Tommy Nguyen has chipped up to nearly 1,000,000 chips, and his stack more than doubles any other player. Louis Boutin and Marc-Andre Ladouceur are the two short stacks in play, both with under 150,000 in chips, while the other 5 players sit between 200,000 and 400,000.
Play has been rather tame in the last few orbits, although this may be the quiet before the storm as it’s decision time soon for a few of the players here.
