The players return from break to begin Level 20, with increased blinds of 5,000-15,000 with a big blind ante of 15,000.

With 104 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 295,000 (20 big blinds), and the remaining players are all guaranteed at least $485 each. The next pay jump is $510 for 99th place.

A scan of the field during the break turned up two players who were well ahead of the rest of the field, with the third biggest stack worth only about half as much as the chipleader.

1.  Javier Rios  –  1,300,000  (87 bb)
2.  Guillermo Reyes  –  1,135,000  (76 bb)
3.  Tamara Goldshteyn  –  685,000  (46 bb)
