The mounting blinds have provoked a major upheaval on the leaderboard, as the 8-Max Deepstack Re-entry is set to resume in level 15.

The current chip leader, Placide Junior Sanon, was holding steady in the middle of pack before he found ways to amass enough chips to set himself apart and is now the only player to have more than double the current chip average of 145K. Sanon’s stack of about 58 big blinds gives him plenty of breathing room, but most others in the field are feeling the pressure of the blinds now that an average stack only gets players about 20 big blinds.
