Level 18 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/600)
Total Entries: 178
Players Remaining: 18
Chip Average: 297,000
The tournament director has made the announcement to resume the Main Event. Players will begin by playing out the remaining 48 minutes of Level 18 and will only finish tonight once a champion is crowned.
John Lakatosh (893,000) opens the day at Table 29 with more than twice as many chips as his closest competition. Christian Harder comes into the day with 433,200, but holds position over Lakatosh, as he is one seat to Lakatosh's left. Lakatosh has almost exactly one-sixth of all the chips in play.
As the luck of the draw would have it, six of the seven shortest stacks are at Table 30. It will be interesting to see how things play out with roughly 2 million chips in play on Table 30 and 3.34 million on Table 29.
