The players have just returned from their latest break, and only 35 players remain in contention.

The pressure of the blinds is mounting rapidly so the players will have to be resourceful to keep their heads above water as we enter the late stages of this event. With an average stack providing roughly 16 big blinds, there will be some major swings in the levels ahead as pre-flop all ins become more and more common.

The current chip leader, Manfred Gunther is the only player in the field with more than 40 big blinds at his disposal, but he will need to stay sharp to preserve his chip lead because, at this stage, everything can change quickly.
