The players return from break to begin Level 26, with increased blinds of 50,000-75,000 with a 75,000 ante.

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

1.  Brian Scott  –  6,975,000  (116 bb)
2.  Marius Gierse  –  5,650,000  (94 bb)
3.  Frank Funaro  –  5,525,000  (92 bb)
4.  Jerry Wong  –  4,400,000  (73 bb)
5.  Konstantin Held  –  4,275,000  (71 bb)

With 33 players remaining from a field of 1,692, the average chip stack is around 2,565,000 (34 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $20,690 each.

There will be a one-hour dinner break around 6:00 pm, and the field is scheduled to play as long as it takes to get down to the final two tables tonight (16 players).
