Level 16:  4,000/8,000 with an 8,000 ante
Players Remaining:  287 of 2,290

The players have returned from their early dinner break to finish playing Level 16, with blinds of 4,000-8,000 and an 8,000 ante.

When the tournament staff stopped action before the dinner break, they asked every table to finish their hand in progress before heading to dinner.

As it turns out, the Money Bubble had been burst in that last hand before the dinner break, so everyone returning from dinner is in the money!
