Chipleader Brian Altman has 9.3 million in chips.

After the elimination of Dennis Rodriguez in 25th place, the final 24 players drew for random seats at the final three tables.

Each player was reset to exactly six Time Chips, which can be used to add 30 seconds to a decision. (The 30-second Action Clock by Protection Poker is in use for the rest of the tournament.)

Here is the new lineup, along with approximate chip counts:
