Level 15: 3,000-6,000, 500 ante
With 19 players left and about 20 minutes left in the last level of the day, Allen Kessler is lobbying to have play stop when they reach 18 players, so the end-of-day table draw can be combined with the redraw for the final two tables. None of the other players seem to care.
Kessler continues to argue that it's helpful to know where they'll be sitting the next day, and Amnon Filippi tells him that he can wait two hours like everyone else when the casino releases the next day's seating assignments.
Barry Greenstein tells Kessler, "The only players who need to know where they'll be sitting are the six at the final table. Your seat will be in the third row."
