Level 17 (Blinds 2,000/4,000/500)
Total Entries: 178
Players Remaining: 20
With just two eliminations remaining until the money, players are simultaneously getting more aggressive and more conservative.
There has been a lot of pre-flop raising and even heavy post-flop action, but it has been at least half an hour since the all-in button even made an appearance, let alone led to an elimination.
Players are 15 minutes away from a short break before entering Level 18 (2,500/5,000/500), but the average stack in the room will still have more than 50 big blinds at that time.
