$2,200 Six-Max No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-out)
Level 16: 1,500/3,000/500 Ante

Level 15 was relatively uneventful — Zo Karim shoved in a few spots, but was never called, and he nearly doubled his stack over the course of that level. Going in the other direction, Otto Palacios lost more than half his stack that level to become the new short stack.

2013 WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess has increased his lead, crossing the 300,000 mark.

There was a brief break before Level 16 to color up the black (100) chips. With 10 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 150,000 (50 big blinds).
