Players are on a five-minute break and Level 23 has begun with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 1,750. Twenty-six players now remain after "Lanfeust" and "angels" were both eliminated over the last two minutes of play, and just two more eliminations are needed to cement the first level of payouts, good for $336. Here's an updated look at chip counts for the 26 remaining players, with "xxx6395200xxx" having experienced a heater of late to amass a whopping stack of 1.9 million, well over double that of the next-closest "Stonniepokes".
