The players returned from break to begin Level 23, with increased blinds of 15,000-25,000 and a big blind ante of 25,000.
A scan of the field during the break turned up only three players with at least a million in chips, and they are all sitting right next to each other, at Table 27 in seats 7, 8, and 9, and they are leading in that order:
1. Bradley Young – 1,500,000 (60 bb)
2. Gonzalo Garcia – 1,110,000 (44 bb)
3. Andre Bryan – 1,035,000 (41 bb)
