Level 26:  50,000/75,000 with a 75,000 ante
Players Remaining:  26 of 2,010

With the board showing on the turn, Robert Georato checked from the small blind, chipleader Carlos Dorca moved all in under the gun, and Georato went into the tank.

Georato used his last six Time Chips to tank for more than three minutes before he folded, and Dorca showed for a turned set of sevens as he took the pot.

Carlos Dorca  –  12,500,000  (167 bb)
Robert Georato  –  950,000  (13 bb)

With 26 players remaining from a field of 2,010, the average chip stack is about 3,875,000 (52 big blinds). The field is in the money, with the remaining players guaranteed at least $28,500.

The 30-second Action Clock by Protection Poker is in use, and players have 30 seconds to make each decision. Each player has been given a limited number of non-transferable Time Chips that can be used to extend a decision by 30 seconds.

There will be a one-hour dinner break after this level, around 7:15 pm, and action is scheduled to continue tonight until the field is down to the final two tables (16 players).
