The players return from break to begin Level 21, with increased blinds of 10,000-15,000 and a 15,000 ante.

There will be a 45-minute dinner break after Level 23, around 7:15 pm.

A scan of the field during the break turned up three players with at least 1.2 million in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

3.  Niall Costigan  –  1,330,000  (89 bb)

With 261 players remaining from a field of 5,658, the average chip stack is around 435,000 (29 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $1,180 each, and the next pay jump is $1,420 for 213th place.
