Level 23:  15,000/25,000 with a 25,000 ante
Players Remaining:  22 of 873

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)

And here are the most recent eliminations, along with their payouts:

23rd:  Veton Balidemaj  –  $690
24th:  Charles Odenz  –  $690
25th:  Jonathan Ounjian  –  $690
26th:  Tuan Phan  –  $690
27th:  Keld Curtis  –  $690

With 22 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 595,000 (24 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $690 each. The next pay jump will be $785 for 18th place.
