After Level 23 came to an end, the players took a 40-minute dinner break, which gave us a good opportunity to look for all the big stacks (more than 1.5 million) and get an accurate count for some of the other players further back in the field.

With 99 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 610,000 (25 big blinds). The players are in the money, guaranteed at least $1,360 each. The next pay jump is $1,469 for 90th place.
