Event 40: In 19 Minutes, Only One Player Busted

Level 19:  5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 ante
Players Remaining:  52 of 873

We only lost a single player during that first level back, but it’ll be tough to sustain that slow pace. The players then took a 15-minute break to color up the 1K chips.

Here’s the only elimination so far:

53rd:  Damen Gooljar  –  $510

The players have returned from break to begin Level 19, with increased blinds of 5,000-10,000 and a big blind ante of 10,000.

With 52 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 250,000 (25 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $510 each. The next pay jump will be $555 for 45th place.
