Action had slowed significantly as we're on the final table bubble. Players have been trading small pots back and forth, not wanting to get too heavily involved.

10th place will take home $11,552 and 9th will earn $16,148.

Blinds Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

[user22113]

Blinds are now 8,000-15,000 with betting limits of 15,000-30,000. 8,000-15,000 blinds may seem strange -- 7,500-15,000 sounds more like it -- but it makes sense as the 500-denomination chips were colored up hours ago.

Speaking of that color-up, Gary Styczynski, who returned from break to find half his chips missing (they were mistakenly placed in Michael Banks' stack), is our current chip leader, with 660,000.
