There are 199 players in the field returning from the dinner break, but only 197 of them will finish in the money. Hand-for-hand play will begin even though they are two away from the money.

With 199 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 316,000 (40,000 big blinds), and the final 197 players will be guaranteed at least $6,150 each.

The 30-Second Action Clock by Protection Poker will be in use for the rest of the tournament. Players will have 30 seconds to make each decision, and they have been given 10 non-transferable Time Chips that can be used to extend a decision by 30 seconds. These are the only Time Chips players will receive until the field is down to the final three tables (24 players), at which point everybody still in the field will reset to six Time Chips each.

Action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 21, shortly after 12:30 am.
