Level 26:  25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 ante
Players Remaining:  64 of 4,017

The players return from dinner to begin Level 26, with increased blinds of 25,000-50,000 with a 50,000 ante.

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

1.  Hector Pacheco  –  3,860,000  (77 bb)
2.  Ha Nguyen  –  3,600,000  (72 bb)
3.  Femi Fashakin  –  3,345,000  (67 bb)
4.  Tomas Brokl  –  3,315,000  (66 bb)
5.  Brian Scott  –  3,000,000  (60 bb)

With 64 players remaining from a field of 4,017, the average chip stack is around 1,570,000 (31 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $3,760 each.

Action will continue tonight until about 2:00 am, and the survivors will return tomorrow at 1:00 pm to play to a winner.
