With the levels now lasting 50 percent longer than we started the day with, and with the blinds still at a relatively low level, this Women’s Series event has slowed down to a very comfortable pace. We’ve only lost half a dozen competitors over the last hour or so, but the ladies don’t seem to mind, and the energy has stayed consistently positive throughout the day.

As we work our way through to the end of level 10 the women will take their second break of the day, and we’ll be able to update you on the chip leaders shortly afterwards.
