After the seemingly endless hand-for-hand play on the money bubble, the field in the Strangers in the Night was quickly reduced to only 20 players.

As play resumes in level 21, there are three players who have set themselves apart from the field, each with stacks of more than a million in chips, while most others find themselves below the chip average. Longtime tournament leader Robert Gariepy was recently dethroned by Mohammadamin Khalilian, who managed to chip up significantly during the last level of play.
