A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least two million in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

3.  Chris Lewis  –  2,525,000  (84 bb)
4.  Jerry Wong  –  2,230,000  (74 bb)
5.  Luke Rosenberg  –  2,075,000  (69 bb)

The blind levels have increased to 60 minutes, and they will remain that duration for the rest of the tournament.

There will be a 40-minute dinner break after Level 25, around 8:12 pm.

With 136 players remaining from a field of 6,134, the average chip stack is about 900,000 (30 big blinds). The field is in the money, and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $1,925 each.
