Dinner's Over

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Players are coming back from dinner break and there is around 10 tables left to play out. Cards are now in the air.

Level: 8

Blinds: 600/1,200

Ante: 200

A Small Note

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Since some players chose to take the entire 90-minute dinner break, they are one level behind the rest of the field. This means that some of the field is still playing 400 - 800 with an 100 ante and some players are playing 600 - 1200 with a 200 ante.
