Level 16:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining:  117 of 843

When the field reached the final 13 tables (117 players), the clock was paused, and to simplify things, the players were sent on their 90-minute dinner break early so the 30-second Action Clock could be put into play.

So the players are on their dinner break until 7:45 pm, and when they return, this field will be using the 30-second Action Clock for the rest of the way.

With 117 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 288,000 (58 big blinds). A scan of the field during the break turned up four players with at least 600K in chips:

1.  Farhad Jamasi  –  1,050,000  (210 bb)
2.  John Dollinger  –  1,031,000  (206 bb)
3.  Mukul Pahuja  –  904,000  (181 bb)
4.  Brian Altman  –  836,000  (167 bb)

The final 106 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $5,666, and action will continue tonight until the end of Level 20, around 12:15 am.
