The players return from break to begin Level 21, with increased blinds of 10,000-15,000 with a 15,000 ante.

A scan of the field during the break turned up four players with at least 1.3 million in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

2.  Dorian Rios  –  1,570,000  (105 bb)
3.  Taylor Hart  –  1,350,000  (90 bb)
4.  Pablo Valdivieso  –  1,300,000  (87 bb)

With about 225 players remaining from a field of 4,017, the average chip stack is around 445,000 (30 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $1,560 each.

There will be a 45-minute dinner break after Level 25, around 8:35 pm. Action will continue tonight until about 2:00 am, and the survivors will return tomorrow at 1:00 pm to play to a winner.
