50 players are back on the floor after their second break. There’s a total of 3,900,000 chips in play tonight and the current average is 78,000. The field is 30 spots from reaching the money but many players are already going home with a nice amount based on their collection of bounty chips.

Hicham Hammoud is the new leader with a monstrous stack of 290,500, which is good for 193 big blinds. Shunn Jacques sits in second place as the only other player to cross the 200,000 chip mark with a stack of 204,000.
