Level 10 Begins (45 Players Left)

Level 9 comes to an end, and Level 10 begins with increased blinds of 500-1,000 and a 100 ante. Play continues without a break.

The first level of the day was 60 minutes long (as per the structure sheet), but the rest of the action today will be in 90-minute levels.

With 45 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 78,700 (78 big blinds).

There will be a 90-minute dinner break that begins halfway thru the next level (about 7:30 pm). Action will continue tonight until the field reaches the money (final 15 players).
